The Proof American Silver Eagle has been available from the United States Mint since 1986. During its first seven years in production, the Proof Silver Eagle was struck by the San Francisco Mint. Although the Philadelphia Mint and West Point Mint have subsequently handled production of the Proof Silver Eagle, the San Francisco Mint resumed annual production in 2018 that continues to this day. Now, 2022-S 1 oz Proof American Silver Eagle Coins are available to you for purchase online at JM Bullion.

As mentioned above, the San Francisco Mint was the first US Mint branch to ever strike Silver Eagle Coins. From 1986 to 1992, in particular, it produced the Proof American Silver Eagle for collectors. From 1993 to 2010, the Philadelphia and West Point Mints handled all the production of Proof Silver Eagles.
First, the Philadelphia Mint issued the coins from 1993 to 2000, and since 2001, the West Point Mint has handled the production of all Proof Silver Eagles. However, a special 2011 issue of S-Proof Silver Eagles eventually led to the return of S-Proof coins. Starting in 2018, the San Francisco Mint began striking Proof Silver Eagles annually alongside those coins issued by the West Point Mint, but with limited mintages in comparison.
Walking Liberty features on the obverse of 2022-S Proof American Silver Eagles. This image shows Liberty in left-profile relief as she strides toward the sun on the horizon. The American flag is draped around her figure, with her right hand outstretched and her left carrying branches of oak and laurel.
An American bald eagle is depicted in the reverse design of the 2022-S 1 oz Proof Silver Eagle. This new design from Emily Damstra debuted on the coins in mid-2021 and shows the eagle swooping downward, wings flexed, with an oak branch in its talons.
These 2022-S 1 oz Proof American Silver Eagle Coins are available to you in plastic capsules. The coin and capsule arrive in a presentation box with a Certificate of Authenticity available. Proof Silver Eagles have beautiful contrast between the frosted designs and mirrored fields.
