2018-W $1 1-oz Silver American Eagle PCGS PF70DCAM First Strike - Congratulations Series

Congratulate a Friend or Family Member who has a Major Life Event in 2018

The Walking Liberty design of Adolph Weinman, which debuted on the half dollar in 1916, was part of a renaissance in American numismatics. The period produced several stunning pieces, many of which continue to be celebrated today as some of the most beautiful in world history. It was no surprise, then, that the design was chosen when the United States decided during the 1980s to begin issuing a silver bullion coin. Along with the bullion version, the U.S. also issued a proof. The bullion coin’s popularity stems in no small part due to the fact that it is the only such bullion coin that is backed by the U.S. government for weight and purity. The popularity of the proof, though, is testament to the fact that collectors find the design itself remains popular.

This particular proof was issued as part of the annual Congratulations Set. The set is issued annually to provide collectors and their friends and families with a special way to mark significant life events. The label on which grading information notes that it was issued as part of the set. Some of the most popular such events are milestone birthdays, engagements, anniversaries, and births. Whether those you know are avid coin collectors or just patriotic Americans, this Congratulations Silver Eagle Proof is a great way to mark their milestone.

• MARKING MILESTONES – Any coin can be given as a gift, but this one bears a label that indicates that it was part of a special Congratulations Set, which was issued specifically to mark special occasions.

• GORGEOUS PROOF FINISH – Struck from 1-oz of 99.9% fine silver just like its bullion counterpart, this coin has a stunning proof finish that accentuates its beautiful designs.
