The coins are being released during the FUN Show in Orlando. Special submission instructions must be followed. See the "Submission Instructions" section of this article.

The US Mint is releasing the 2025-W Proof Silver Eagles on January 9, 2025, during the FUN Show, which will be available for purchase individually and as part of the 2025 Congratulations Set. To celebrate these coins, Numismatic Guaranty Company® (NGC®) is offering special labels and designations that enhance the coins and mark the occasion of their release.

NGC will offer the First Day of Issue, First Day - FUN Show and FUN Show Releases designations for qualifying coins submitted to NGC at the FUN Show, being held in Orlando from January 9 to 12. Special submission instructions must be followed. For regular submissions of these coins, click here.

The 2025 coin's obverse features the classic full-length figure of Liberty in stride created by Adolph A. Weinman, which was updated in 2021. The Silver Eagles now include more of Weinman's original details due to technological advancements in the design and minting processes.

In 2021, the reverse of the Silver Eagle coin was completely redesigned. It features a single eagle about to land while carrying an oak branch in its talons. It was engraved by acclaimed medallic artist Michael Gaudioso, who signs certification labels exclusively for NGC. (2025-W Proof Silver Eagles certified with the NGC Michael Gaudioso Signature Label will be available through select retailers.)

For coins to qualify for the Early Releases and First Releases designations, NGC must receive submissions within the first 30 days of release. Further, coins from the 2025 Congratulations Set qualify for a "Congratulations Set" designation for no additional fee.
