Back in December, we tentatively outlined some of those products and their prospective release dates and one of them was the anticipation of the 2022 Proof American Silver Eagle from West Point.

While originally slated for a February 3rd release, the Mint postponed the first American Silver Eagle product to a “TBD” status. Since then, they have most recently given the product another defined date of April 14th. All other details about the coin, including mintage limits and pricing, are unknown. We do, however, know that they will be available...read more

It also happens to crack the top 20 and started off being rare right from the beginning...read more
