2015 W PROOF SILVER EAGLE PCGS PR70 DCAM JOHN MERCANTI HAND SIGNED FLAG LABEL

2015-W Proof American Silver Eagle – PCGS PR70 DCAM – John Mercanti Hand-Signed Flag Label

A perfect-grade example of the 2015-W Proof Silver Eagle, certified PR70 Deep Cameo by PCGS. It comes in a patriotic American Flag label personally hand-signed by John Mercanti, the 12th Chief Engraver of the U.S. Mint and designer of the heraldic eagle reverse on this coin.

Why It Stands Out

The 2015 proof mintage of 707,518 fell by nearly 240,000 from the year before, and it was the lowest of the 2003–2015 run, when every proof Silver Eagle topped 700,000. (providentmetals) (providentmetals)

PR70 means a flawless coin under 5x magnification, with frosted devices set against deep mirror fields.

The hand-signed Mercanti label connects the coin directly to the artist behind its reverse design.

PCGS Population

PCGS reports a population of 25,246 for the 2015-W Proof Silver Eagle in PR70 DCAM, with none graded higher. This figure covers all label types combined. PCGS doesn't break out the Mercanti signed labels separately, and the hand-signed versions make up only a small part of the total. (apmex)
