The story behind 2001-W Proof Silver Eagle PCGS PR70
The American Silver Eagle began in 1986, pairing physical silver with Adolph A. Weinman’s Walking Liberty design from the 1916 half dollar. It gives a modern bullion coin a direct artistic connection to earlier American circulating coinage. This date belongs to the original reverse-design era, with a heraldic eagle.

Frequently asked questions
How does PCGS PR70 affect the comparison?
Compare examples of the same issue with the same service and grade. A PR70 label describes condition under the grading service’s standards; it does not establish a guaranteed resale price. Any additional label designation should also match.
Is proof the same as a perfect grade?
No. Proof describes a method of manufacture and finish. A numerical grade, when explicitly supplied, is a separate assessment of condition.
What should I record after buying this item?
Keep the invoice with the product name, quantity and any visible certification or serial number. These details help distinguish this offer from other dates, grades or packaging variants.
