In 2010, as the American economy showed signs of recovery, the United States Mint resumed the production of the Proof American Silver Eagle, ending a historic one-year hiatus. Provident Metals is delighted to offer the 2010-W Proof American Eagle 1 oz Silver Coin.

From 1986 to 2008, Proof American Eagle Silver coins were an annual tradition, briefly interrupted in 2009 due to economic uncertainty. Despite the absence of the proof version, the American Eagle achieved record sales of 30.46 million bullion coins in 2009, driven by increased demand for investment-grade precious metals.

Obverse

Adorning the obverse of the 2010-W Proof Eagle 1 oz Silver Coin is the timeless Walking Liberty design by Adolph A. Weinman, symbolizing the nation’s unwavering march toward a brighter future since its inception in 1916.

Reverse

On the reverse of 2010-W Proof American Eagle Silver Coins, John Mercanti’s heraldic eagle design, introduced in 1986, remained a steadfast emblem until his retirement in 2010 as Chief Engraver of the United States Mint.

History

The return of the proof version in 2010, coupled with ongoing economic challenges, led to heightened demand. This year witnessed the production of 34.7 million bullion coins and the issuance of nearly 850,000 proof coins. Notably, 2010 remains the year with the lowest mintage for the Proof American Silver Eagle post-2009.

Ordering

These 2010-W Proof American Eagle 1 oz Silver Coins arrive in a US Mint presentation box with the coins held in capsules within the box. Each coin comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.
