2008-W Proof Silver Eagle 1 oz

Description

# 2008-W Proof Silver Eagle 1 oz PCGS PR70 DCAM. A pristine example of the coveted 2008-W Proof Silver Eagle, this stunning coin represents a remarkable moment in modern American numismatic history. Struck at the West Point Mint with a limited production run of just 700,979 pieces, this coin was abruptly discontinued mid-year due to silver planchet shortages, creating an instant collector's treasure. Graded a flawless PCGS PR70 Deep Cameo, this silver dollar showcases the exceptional artistry of designers Adolph A. Weinman (obverse) and John Mercanti (reverse). The coin features the iconic Walking Liberty design and heraldic eagle, rendered with extraordinary sharp relief and stunning deep cameo contrast. With only 7,709 coins achieving this perfect grade, this specimen represents the pinnacle of numismatic quality for the 2008 Silver Eagle series. The coin's technical specifications are impeccable: composed of 99.93% silver, weighing 31.101 grams, and measuring 40.6mm in diameter with a reeded edge. Its rarity is further enhanced by the unique circumstances of its production, with the U.S. Mint halting sales in August 2008, creating significant market demand and driving substantial price premiums. A true key date for Silver Eagle collectors and investors alike. Provenance Details: - *PCGS Certification*: 28864070. - *Mint*: West Point (W). - *Year*: 2008. - *Population*: 7,709 at PR70 DCAM
