1995 American Silver Eagle
The 1995 Silver Eagle marked the tenth year for the popular bullion and collector coin series. This year, the US Mint produced 4,672,051 silver bullion coins, which was an increase from the prior year.
Two versions of the 1995 Proof Silver Eagle exist. The first is the regularly issued 1995-P Proof Silver Eagle. This coin was produced at the Philadelphia Mint, limited to a mintage of 500,000 coins and sold for $23.00 per coin.
The second, and considerably more rare version, is the 1995-W Proof Silver Eagle, which was issued to mark the tenth anniversary of the coin. This coin was only sold as part of the 1995 Gold Eagle Proof Set, which created a minuscule mintage of 30,125 coins. This coin is the key date for the series and usually costs above $4,000 to obtain.
For certified coin collectors, both versions of the proof coin are attainable in NGC PF 70 Ultra Cameo, although the 1995-W can cost above $10,000. PCGS PR70DCAM coins are uncommon. The bullion versions can be found in NGC MS 70 with more regularity than prior years, PCGS MS70 coins are scarce.
During 1995, the average price of silver was $5.20 per ounce.
