Complete History of the Silver Eagle Coin

Owner Comments:

The standard 2012-W Proof American Silver Eagle coin was struck with a total mintage of 877,731, which marks only a slight drop in production. The bullion coin was responsible for most of the drop, falling from 40 million in 2011 to 33.7 million in 2012.

This was a limited silver proof set which included a silver proof eagle, as well as a Kennedy half dollar, five quarters from the America the Beautiful series and a Roosevelt dime. The eagle proof was the only one of these coins to be minted at West Point, the remaining coins were minted in San Francisco.
