2020-W Proof Silver Eagle NGC Special Designations and Labels

Posted on 12/30/2019

A distinctive presentation adds to the appeal of the 2020-W Proof Silver Eagle. Special submission instructions must be followed. See the “Submission Instructions” section of this article.

The 2020-W American Eagle One Ounce Silver Proof Coin is being released January 9, 2020. NGC is offering its Early Releases and First Releases designations as well as its West Point Mint Gold Star Label to distinguish these coins.

Among the most popular coins struck by the US Mint each year, Silver Eagles now come in several finishes. The classic Proof version features frosted design elements and a mirrored field, beautifully augmenting the much-admired “Walking Liberty” design.
