June 29, 2017 by Silver Coins Today Staff · Leave a Comment
The United States Mint is now selling its latest product for coin collectors, the 2017-W Uncirculated American Silver Eagle.
The uncirculated silver coin appears most like its bullion counterpart, which is intended for investors and has sales of over 12.1 million since launching in January. Its uncirculated finish is further distinguished by a "W" mint mark to denote its striking at the U.S. Mint facility in West Point.
Annually released since 2006, except for 2009 and 2010 when silver blanks were reserved for the bullion version, the uncirculated coin is one of the U.S. Mint’s flagship products. Like with the companion bullion and proof editions, it is composed in 1 troy ounce of 99.9% pure silver.
