elliottite Valued Member United States 257 Posts	Posted 09/18/2024 11:36 pm * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * A friend of mine bought these online. He says they were sold as West Point coins. This does not look like any West Point mintmark that I've seen. Also, the 1OZ. FINE SILVER writing on the reverse is off on the side. Like 45° out. The coin weighs 1.005oz. Is this coin legit? I'm more on the not side. And then there is the reeding issue. All of the coins had the skipped reed in the exact same spot on each coin. Thank you.

Seeker_101 Pillar of the Community United States 1791 Posts	Posted 09/19/2024 12:25 am The security notch on 2023 Silver Eagle is at 3 o'clock so that fits. Weight is 1 oz and those are the designer's initials under IGWT. It seems legit to me though I'm not great at spotting fakes. The mint mark for West Point would appear on the reverse of the coin above the tail - so not minted at West Point. Report this Post to the Staff

EDIT: There were West Point minted ASE's but were not designated with the W mint mark Edited by Marv65 09/19/2024 12:32 am Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 95204 Posts	Posted 09/19/2024 08:16 am It is real, but a bullion ASE, not a West Point minted one. (The mint Mark will be on the reverse, the 'W' on the obverse is actually and 'AW' for the designers initials.) Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

Being bullion, you can't say where it was minted, having no mint mark. Unless it's certified or graded as to it's origin by a third party grader MORE than likely it West Point, but that can't be determined now. I'm not sure if the Mint was using any additional facilities in 2023, I'm guessing it was all produced by West Point. Report this Post to the Staff
Marv65 Bedrock of the Community United States 10492 Posts	Posted 09/19/2024 2:11 pm If I'm correct ALL bullion Silver Eagles were minted at West Point but no mintmarks were used on them. The W mintmark was used on the "burnished" and "proof" coins. "2023 W Bullion ( no mint mark) 24,750,000 mtg." Report this Post to the Staff

livingwater Pillar of the Community United States 2219 Posts	Posted 09/23/2024 7:22 pm Almost always at West Point. See below link. I wasn't interested that some were struck a Philadelphia but other collectors were. Philadelphia struck more in 2021. A third party grader was hyping them as "emergency issue." I don't know if they'll be worth more premium in the future. https://www.coinworld.com/news/prec...ng-certified Edited by livingwater 09/23/2024 7:42 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 95204 Posts	Posted 09/23/2024 9:59 pm Yes Marve, you are very correct, that is what I meant, just was not very clear about it (it was at 3 am my time when I posted that) Collecting since 1972.
