2013-W American Silver Eagle Enhanced MS70 PCGS West Point Mint Set First Strike

The 2013-W American Silver Eagle Enhanced Mint State, graded PCGS MS70 with the First Strike designation, is one of the most distinctive issues in the modern Silver Eagle series. Struck at the West Point Mint and released exclusively within the 2013 West Point Mint Set, this coin features a unique Enhanced finish that combines frosted design elements with a burnished field — distinct from both standard bullion strikes and traditional proof coins — making it a standout collector piece in its own right. The obverse showcases Adolph A. Weinman's iconic Walking Liberty design, depicting Lady Liberty striding forward draped in the American flag, with the sun rising at her feet. The reverse bears John Mercanti's heraldic eagle, inscribed "1 OZ. FINE SILVER ONE DOLLAR," confirming the coin's one-troy-ounce, 0. 999 fine silver composition. PCGS certified this example at MS70 — a flawless strike with no post-production imperfections under 5x magnification — and applied the First Strike label, denoting receipt at PCGS within the first 30 days of the coin's release. The coin rests in a secure PCGS hard plastic slab with a holographic anti-tamper label on the reverse.
