Capture a significant chapter of U.S. bullion history with the 2001-W 1 oz Proof Silver American Eagle, presented in its original U.S. Mint display box with a Certificate of Authenticity. Struck at the prestigious West Point Mint, this proof edition contains 1 troy ounce of .999 fine silver and gleams with frosted devices and deeply mirrored fields, a hallmark of the American Eagle proof series.
