2020-W $1 1-oz Silver Eagle V75 NGC PF70UC First Day of Issue w/Black Core & Mercanti Signature

First-Ever Privy Mark Silver Eagles Celebrate 75 Years of Peace

2020 marked the 75th anniversary of the end of World War II. To celebrate this important anniversary, the United States Mint issued the first-ever Silver Eagles to feature a privy mark! And in this offer, you can get $1 Silver Eagle struck in a full ounce of highly pure 99.9% fine silver!

The addition of the privy mark has thrust this Silver Eagle to the forefront of modern, key-date coins. You’ll find the mark on the right side of the coin’s obverse design, where you’ll see the letter “V” for “victory” along with the number 75. The mark is set in the shape of the Rainbow Pool in Washington, D.C. — a part of the World War II memorial.

Final Full Year of “Heraldic Eagle” Design

What’s also important to note is that the U.S. Mint has announced that the reverse of the Silver Eagle will be replaced in 2021, bringing an end to John Mercanti’s iconic “Heraldic Eagle” design. “Firsts” and “Lasts” are major parts of any collection, and these “last year of design” coins are sure to become key Silver Eagle dates. Given the popularity of the series — it is widely considered the world’s most collected bullion coin by far — these changes are sure to generate shockwaves throughout the numismatic world and are likely to make issues both new and old even more appealing to collectors and stackers alike.

Flawless, First Day of Issue Certification

Mintages for this release is exceptionally low — and even fewer are available like the ones available in this offer graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) as being in flawless Proof-70 Ultra Cameo (PF70UC) condition, a distinction that means your perfectly-graded proof will have ZERO imperfections — showing all features and fields exactly as the engraver and mint intended.

Mercanti, the U.S. Mint’s 12th Chief Engraver! A giant in the numismatic world, Mercanti has produced more coin and medal designs than any person in U.S. Mint history!
