This 2025-W 1 oz Proof Silver Eagle makes history as the first in the series to feature a laser-engraved privy mark. Symbolizing cutting-edge minting technology, the privy mark reflects the precision and artistry possible through advanced laser engraving, a process now used in the creation of master dies.

Struck at the West Point Mint from .999 fine silver, the coin boasts sharp frosted devices and flawless mirrored fields. Certified PF70 Ultra Cameo by NGC and designated Advanced Releases, it comes in the U.S. Mint Engraver Series holder with a hand-signed label from Michael Gaudioso, the master engraver who sculpted the Type 2 reverse.

U.S. Mint Engraver Series

Michael Gaudioso’s signature connects this piece directly to the engraver responsible for bringing the modern reverse design to life.

Coin Design

• Obverse – Weinman’s “Walking Liberty” in full detail, enhanced in 2021 to restore original features. Liberty strides toward the sunrise carrying laurel and oak branches, with “AW” initials at her heel and inscriptions “LIBERTY,” “IN GOD WE TRUST,” and “2025.”
• Reverse – Damstra’s eagle design, sculpted by Gaudioso, depicts a bald eagle descending with an oak branch in its talons. Inscriptions include “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “E PLURIBUS UNUM,” “1 OZ FINE SILVER,” and “ONE DOLLAR.”

American Silver Eagle Series

Since its 1986 debut, the American Silver Eagle has stood as the official U.S. silver bullion coin and a symbol of American craftsmanship. The 2021 redesign introduced an updated obverse and new reverse, along with enhanced security features, securing the series’ place as the most collected silver coin worldwide.
