There may be no single year in the history of the American Silver Eagle coin program that was more tumultuous than 2008. The nation had just entered the Great Recession with the housing market collapse and subsequent panic on Wall Street at the end of 2007. As a result, the popularity of the program skyrocketed but was bolstered largely by bullion coins. Today, the 2008-W Proof American Silver Eagle coin is available from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
The 2008-W Proof American Silver Eagle had the second lowest mintage in the 21st century. In fact, the situation in the economy got so bad that the next year, 2009, the United States Mint suspended production of the Proof American Silver Eagle altogether. After striking 9 million coins in 2007, the US Mint produced a new record high of 20.58 million bullion coins in 2008. While investors were running to precious metals, collectors were shying away. The 2008 Proof American Silver Eagle saw a drop in production of 121,000 coins. That was the largest single-year drop, not counting the drop after the 20th Anniversary Set in 2006, since the 1987 issue.
Adolph A. Weinman’s Walking Liberty continues to grace the obverse of the 2008-W 1 oz Proof American Eagle Coin. This iconic portrayal features Lady Liberty walking into the sun, draped in the American flag while holding oak branches.
The reverse of the 2008-W Proof American Silver Eagle Coin showcases the heraldic eagle design by John Mercanti. This unique image showcases an eagle with a shield on its chest while clutching arrows and an olive branch in its talons. Identifying marks of the coin surround the image.
Your 2008-W 1 oz Proof American Silver Eagle Coin will arrive securely inside a stunning display box from the US Mint. Each purchase will also come with a Certificate of Authenticity, confirming its proof visuals. Notably, the “W” mint mark indicates that these coins were made at the West Point Mint.
