A Numismatic Landmark

Elevate your collection with a coin that represents a direct link to numismatic royalty: the 2023-W Proof American Silver Eagle, hand-signed by the legendary Kenneth Bressett. While the annual Proof Silver Eagle is a cornerstone of modern collecting, this specific coin has been transformed into a historic artifact. It not only achieves the twin peaks of numismatic desirability—a perfect PF70 Ultra Cameo grade and the elite First Day of Issue pedigree—but it carries an endorsement that makes it an incredible rarity. From the entire mintage, it is one of only 190 coins in the world to be hand-signed by Kenneth Bressett, making this a monumental treasure. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a top-population coin that is flawless, historic, and verifiably scarce.

Exquisite Design

This coin showcases the pinnacle of the U.S. Mint's artistry, featuring the modern American Silver Eagle designs in their ultimate proof format.

Obverse: Adolph A. Weinman’s timeless "Walking Liberty" design strides toward the sunrise. On this flawless proof coin, her figure is heavily frosted, creating a stunning three-dimensional effect against a deep, black, mirror-like field.

Reverse: The reverse showcases Emily Damstra’s dynamic Type 2 "Eagle Landing" design. The Ultra Cameo finish provides a dramatic contrast that highlights every individual feather and the texture of the oak branch, making the eagle appear to soar off the coin's surface. The perfect PF70 grade from NGC guarantees this breathtaking visual effect is completely unimpeded by any imperfections.

Why Collect This Coin?

The case for this coin’s elite status is undeniable. It achieves a trifecta of collector appeal: Perfection, Pedigree, and Provenance. Its perfect PF70 grade signifies flawless quality. Its First Day of Issue pedigree marks it as one of the earliest and best strikes. The crowning feature, the Kenneth Bressett signature, provides a direct link to the scholarship of numismatics itself, creating a microscopic population of just 190 coins. For the discerning collector, this combination of attributes makes it a world-class asset whose rarity is documented and certified.

Detailed Overview

Each year, the Proof American Silver Eagle from the West Point Mint is released to immense collector anticipation. As the U.S. Mint's flagship silver product, it represents the best of its craftsmanship. This specific coin has been elevated far beyond a standard issue. By having it certified on its First Day of Issue and signed by Kenneth Bressett—the revered Editor Emeritus of the Red Book—it has been transformed from a beautiful collector's item into a serious, investment-grade piece of numismatic history.

Artistic and Design Elements

The "Walking Liberty" obverse is a hallmark of American coinage, symbolizing freedom and hope. The "Eagle Landing" reverse adds a modern, realistic dynamism to the series. The true artistic element of a proof coin is its finish. The dies are specially prepared and polished, and each coin is struck multiple times to create the signature Ultra Cameo contrast. This meticulous process is what makes the Proof Silver Eagle the ultimate showcase of the U.S. Mint’s craftsmanship.

Unique Collectible Features

This coin’s elite status is built on a clear and powerful "rarity funnel." It begins as a sought-after 2023-W Proof Silver Eagle. From there, it is part of the limited First Day of Issue population. It then achieves the perfect PF70 Ultra Cameo grade. The final and most exclusive feature is the Kenneth Bressett signature, which reduces the population for this specific treasure to a mere 190 examples worldwide.

Packaging and Presentation

The coin is sonically sealed in a durable NGC holder to protect its perfect condition. The holder features a special label that verifies the PF70 Ultra Cameo grade, the "First Day of Issue" pedigree, and prominently displays the authentic, hand-signed autograph of the numismatic legend, Kenneth Bressett.
