In 2009, the U.S. Mint suspended proof and collector versions of the Silver Eagle entirely, redirecting all silver blanks to meet surging demand for bullion coins during the financial crisis. When the proof program resumed in 2010, collectors rushed to fill the gap in their sets. The 2010 proof — struck at the West Point Mint and bearing the coveted \"W\" mintmark — is a reminder of that turbulent period and a key date for anyone building a complete ASE proof collection.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"U.S. Mint","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53134969209126,"sku":null,"price":100.77,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1013\/7390\/3142\/files\/2010-american-silver-eagle-proof-w-capsule_1.jpg?v=1780199933","url":"https:\/\/oneinabullion.com\/products\/2010-american-silver-eagle-proof-w-capsule-1-oz-999-fine-silver","provider":"One in a Bullion","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
