This 2015 American Silver Eagle was minted in West Point and is part of the First Strike series. Coins with a first strike designation are those which were received or PCGS within the first 30 days of the coin’s release. These types of coins are considered to contain a sharper strike because they were minted using fresh dies in the beginning of the minting for 2015. PCGS has certified these particular coins to be in near-perfect Mint State 69 condition.

• Contains 1 oz of .999 pure silver.
• Graded a near-perfect MS69 by the PCGS.
• Part of the First Strike series.

All American Silver Eagle Coins are struck using silver acquired from domestic sources. Classic American symbols are used on both the obverse and reverse of the coin. The Walking Liberty design first appearing on the Walking Liberty Half Dollar in 1916 is used on the obverse of the American Silver Eagle. The US Mint’s chief engraver in 1985, John Mercanti, designed the eagle used on the reverse.

An MS69 grade from the PGCS identifies coins with a sharp strike, and no more than two blemishes on its face. Coins released as part of the First Strike series are those which were minted by the US Mint during the first 30 days in 2015. The W designation on the label indicates it was struck at the West Point Mint.
