Investing in Proof Silver Eagles is an excellent opportunity because they have collectible value and high bullion content. As San Francisco's first issue of the new Type 2 Eagles illustration, coupled with the low product limit of only 200,000 released, this coin will be an exceptional addition for collectors and investors alike.

New Silver Eagle Design
The U.S. Mint revealed the new look for the Silver Eagles in 2020 in anticipation of the 35th Anniversary of the American Eagle coin program in 2021. The American Eagles that ran from 1986 to early 2021 used a reverse designed by John Mercanti. Additionally, the new design was created by AIP Designer Emily Damstra and sculpted by Mint Medallic Artist Michael Gaudioso. The coin depicts an eagle descending for a landing while carrying an oak branch to its nest.

PCGS Certified Silver Eagles
The monumental introduction of Type 2 Silver Eagle design will pique collectors' interest, making PCGS certification attractive options to consider when purchasing. PCGS is an independent, third-party grading service that has been trusted for 35 years. A coin graded by PCGS is guaranteed to be authentic and in the condition advertised. APMEX is offering this release of Silver Eagles graded as PR-70 and PR-69 by PCGS and in their packaging. PCGS also designates coins as First Day of Issue or FirstStrike® if they can be proven to have shipped from the mint within, either the first day or the first 30 days after release. This significantly increases their value for collectors.
