Description

2017-W 1 oz Proof Silver American Eagle PCGS PF 70 DCAM (Jim Peed)   Experience the perfect balance of artistry, purity, and history with the 2017-W 1 oz Proof Silver American Eagle, graded PF 70 (DCAM) by PCGS and bearing the Jim Peed signature label. Struck at the West Point Mint, this proof coin contains 1 troy ounce of .999 fine silver and stands among the most sought-after issues in the iconic American Eagle series. During the early 2020s, the U.S. Mint made an unprecedented move, releasing tens of thousands of backdated 2017 gold and silver coins from its reserves to bulk buyers. This decision came at a time when the U.S. economy was struggling due to COVID-19 lockdown restrictions, which had disrupted minting schedules and supply chains. As investors sought safe-haven assets amid uncertainty, demand for precious metals surged dramatically, prompting the Mint to meet collector and investor demand by distributing these rare backdated coins. This event has made certified 2017-W Proof Silver Eagles — especially in perfect PF 70 DCAM condition, even more desirable and historically significant.
