2018-W Proof Silver Eagle 1 oz FR John Mercanti

Description

2018-W Proof Silver Eagle, 1 oz, FR John Mercanti Signed, NGC PF70. This exceptional 2018-W Proof Silver American Eagle represents one of the most desirable modern bullion proof issues. Struck at the West Point Mint and bearing the *FR* (Frosted Reverse) designation, this coin features the iconic John Mercanti reverse design—the artist's signature eagle descending to its nest, a motif that has defined the Silver Eagle series since its inception in 1986. Graded NGC PF70, this coin achieves perfect eye appeal with full frosted contrast between the design elements and mirror fields. The 2018-W Proof Silver Eagle, particularly in the FR designation, remains a key date for serious Silver Eagle collectors. The West Point Proof production represents a limited mintage compared to standard proof issues, making quality examples increasingly difficult to locate. The coin contains one full troy ounce of .999 fine silver and displays the sharp strike and pristine surfaces expected of West Point's finest work. NGC Certificate #658181 accompanies this lot, providing authentication and grade verification. An outstanding example for the discerning collector of modern U.S. Mint proof coinage.
