2023-W $1 1-oz Silver American Eagle "Congratulations Set" Proof PCGS PR69 DCAM First Strike w/Flag Label

Say "Congratulations" With A Special Silver Eagle Proof Coin From The West Point Mint

Each year, the United States Mint packages its Silver Eagles into an array of celebratory cards that can be used as gifts for weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, and other events. One of the most popular gift packs is the "Congratulations Set" that can be used for almost any occasion. Beautifully struck at the West Point Mint, these coveted Congratulations Proofs are struck in much smaller quantities than other Silver Eagles amounting to just a fraction of regular-issue proofs and 2023 marks the 10th Anniversary of this release!

America's Most Iconic Symbols

This stunning silver coin is an American icon, proudly displaying the nation's most popular symbols. It starts with the famous image designed by American sculptor Adolph Weinman for the Walking Liberty Half Dollar that was struck from 1916 to 1947. It features Lady Liberty striding proudly forward, her body draped in an American flag, as a new day dawns. The coin's reverse is the work of Artistic Infusion Program (AIP) artist Emily Damstra and was sculpted by Mint Medallic Artist Michael Gaudioso. It displays a full image of a Bald Eagle coming in for a landing with an oak branch held in its talons as if to add to its nest.

High-Grade Silver Eagles Ready For Your Collection

Struck in one troy ounce of highly pure 99.9% silver, this legal tender one-dollar coin showcases the best of American artistry and craftsmanship. In fact, each 2023-W Silver Eagle "Congratulations Set" Proof available in this offer has been graded by the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) as being in near-perfect Proof-69 Deep Cameo (PR69 DCAM) condition, a distinction that means your almost-flawless coin will display an impressive full strike and indistinguishable imperfections–well above and beyond the quality of the vast majority of coins in the series.

In addition, PCGS has certified that these Silver Eagles are First Strike (FS) coins, a designation that means your coin was received by PCGS or a PCGS-approved depository within the first 30 days of the coin's release. Collectors seek out these coins because they are produced with new dies and considered to have sharper strikes and deeper mirrors than those that are struck later. Each coin will also come sonically sealed in an acrylic holder with a special American Flag label.

There's no better way to celebrate life's greatest moments than with America's favorite Silver Dollar. When you want to send your best, get a little help from Lady Liberty!
