Description
1995-W Silver Eagle
PR70 Ultra Cameo
An Iconic Modern Rarity
1995-W $1 Silver Eagle PR70 Ultra Cameo NGC. In 1995, the
Mint saw fit to issue a special proof set of American Eagles to
commemorate the 10th anniversary of the bullion coin program. The
West Point Mint had begun striking proof Gold Eagles in 1994, and
the New York branch mint was selected as the production facility
for the proof sets. There was little to excite collectors about the
proof Gold Eagles in the 10th Anniversary set, as regular
production of those issues produced significant quantities of the
coins to go around in addition to the pieces distributed in the
sets. However, the 1995-W Silver Eagle that was specially struck
for the 10th Anniversary set was a different matter.The West Point Mint did not take over regular proof Silver Eagle production until 2000, meaning that there was no mass regular production of proof 1995-W Silver Eagles to supplement the coins issued in the 10th Anniversary sets. The mintage of the 1995-W was limited to the number of sets sold, which was a trivial 30,125 pieces. No other proof Silver Eagle issue comes close to this low of a mintage. Today, the '95-W is the key to the proof series and a sought-after and scarce coin in PR70 Ultra Cameo. The present example embodies the finest quality possible on an eye-catching Ultra Cameo that is devoid of toning or impairment.(Registry values: N4719)
