Introduced in 1986, the popular and now-iconic American Eagle Silver Proof Coins are collector versions of the official United States Mint American Eagle Silver Bullion Coins. These popular silver collectibles are struck at the West Point Mint and have the "W" mint mark.

The coins' added security features include a reeded edge variation.

The coin is encapsulated and placed in an elegant black presentation box adorned with the United States Mint seal, with an outer sleeve incorporating an image of the reverse coin design. It is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity bearing an image of the obverse.
