The most widely collected modern silver coin in the world, the American Silver Eagle was first issued in 1986. In celebration of the coin’s 30th anniversary, all 2016-W Proof Silver Eagles will feature an incuse “30th ANNIVERSARY” edge inscription — a first for the series.

NGC has designed a special three-prong EdgeView® holder to better facilitate viewing of the coin’s lettered edge. Every 2016-W Proof Silver Eagle submitted to NGC will be encapsulated in the specially designed holder.

A commemorative 30th Anniversary Silver Eagle NGC certification label will be available at no additional charge for these coins. NGC will also offer its popular Early Releases® and First Releases® designations for 2016-W Proof Silver Eagles received within the first 30 days of release. Learn more about Early Releases and First Releases here. Also see Early Releases / First Releases cutoff dates. See the submission instructions below.
