The offering identifies 2015 as its issue year. The listed metal amount is 1 oz.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHistory and background\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe American Silver Eagle began in 1986 as a United States Mint bullion program. It brought a standardized one troy ounce silver coin to a modern market while drawing on an earlier period of American coin art. The series includes bullion, Proof and other collector formats, and its design history has continued across changing mintmarks, packaging and certification practices. A dated Silver Eagle belongs to that continuing program, rather than to the circulating silver dollar issues of the nineteenth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDesign and product identity\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdolph A. Weinman’s Walking Liberty image supplies the obverse: Liberty strides forward with the flag, branches and a rising sun. The image originated on the half dollar introduced in 1916. The original reverse, by John Mercanti, uses a heraldic eagle and shield. A new reverse by Emily Damstra, showing an eagle approaching a landing with an oak branch, entered the series in 2021. The distinction between these reverses matters independently of a coin’s grade or Proof finish. Its stated issue date places it before the 2021 reverse redesign.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMetal:\u003c\/strong\u003e Silver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct format:\u003c\/strong\u003e Coins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eListed metal amount:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 oz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFineness or alloy:\u003c\/strong\u003e .999 fine silver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMint or maker attribution:\u003c\/strong\u003e United States Mint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIssue-year selection:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2015\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish or condition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Proof\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15PSE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eUnderstanding the metal content\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrecious metal ounce weights use the troy system. One troy ounce equals 31.1034768 grams, while a kilogram equals one thousand grams. Fineness states the proportion of precious metal in an alloy; fine metal weight states the amount of that metal. An alloyed coin’s gross weight includes its other metals as well. These measurements explain why a denomination, a package weight and a stated fine metal amount should not be treated as the same specification.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFinish and condition\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eProof describes a specialized manufacturing process using prepared blanks and dies to create a distinctive presentation. It does not automatically mean Proof 70, and an ungraded Proof can have its own handling or preservation characteristics. The term should be kept separate from metal purity and from ordinary mint packaging.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDetails of this version\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe packaging terms in this product identify what is offered. A box and COA refer to a presentation box and certificate of authenticity; carded or sealed refers to the stated package. Alternative terms joined by a slash describe permitted formats rather than a promise that every package type is included together. Packaging and a third-party numeric grade are different attributes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePreserving the product\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreserving the surface and the original identifying information helps retain the product’s physical history. Handle an unencapsulated collectible by its edges where appropriate and avoid polishing or abrasive cleaning. Keep a certified holder or stated assay package intact when retaining its identification matters. A brighter surface created by cleaning is not the same thing as a higher original condition grade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMaterial, design and numismatic identity\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA product’s history is carried by several different kinds of information. The issuing or manufacturing name explains its origin, the design identifies its subject, the metal specification describes its material and the condition language describes its preservation. A date can connect the piece with a particular program or historical period without proving that it is rare. These features remain meaningful together even when two offerings contain similar amounts of precious metal. Keeping them distinct provides a more accurate description of the actual object.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"kz-product-sources\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHistorical and technical references:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.usmint.gov\/learn\/coins-and-medals\/collectible-coins\/american-eagle.html\"\u003eU.S. Mint background\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kzoo Bullion","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52514009809191,"sku":"15PSE","price":115.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0975\/5046\/7367\/files\/media_96b9e8a6-9618-4989-b02d-85eae810f62e.jpg?v=1793678316","url":"https:\/\/kzoobullion.com\/products\/2015-w-proof-silver-eagle-with-box-coa","provider":"Kzoo Bullion","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
