Each 2022-W 1 oz Proof American Silver Eagle Coin in this listing has earned a PF70 grade from the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation. A PF70 coin displays full, original mint luster and no visible imperfections when viewed with the naked eye. The Advanced Release designation indicates the coin was received by NGC for grading before it was made available to the general public.

Michael Gaudioso is a respected sculptor and engraver who previously worked as a staff artist at the United States Mint. During his time there, he contributed to a number of modern American coin designs. With formal artistic training and a strong understanding of balance and detail, Gaudioso became known for his steady craftsmanship and reliable work. His signed label adds an additional point of interest for collectors.

The obverse of the 2022-W Proof American Silver Eagle features Adolph A. Weinman’s classic Walking Liberty design. First introduced in 1916 on the Walking Liberty Half Dollar, the image shows Liberty moving toward the rising sun. She is draped in the American flag and extends her hand forward while carrying olive branches, reflecting themes of hope and freedom.

On the reverse of the 2022-W 1 oz Proof Silver Eagle is the updated eagle design introduced in 2021. Created by Emily Damstra, the image presents a bald eagle in flight as seen from below. The eagle’s wings are spread wide, and it carries an oak branch in its talons, symbolizing strength and endurance.
