2014 'W' Silver Eagle.....with no W Mintmark?

I must be seeing things or not seeing them actually. I just got this in hand and can not see a mint mark.

2014-(W) $1 Silver Eagle PCGS MS70
West Point
First Strike Miles Standish Signed


What am I missing here?

That is a bullion issue that was struck at West Point. It is not a burnished issue with the W mintmark. How the TPGs guarantee that it was minted at West Point is the entire box with the mint straps must be submitted when they grade them. So, you coin is guaranteed to be minted at West Point, and is a bullion issue. IE, one that comes out of a tube and you'd like to pay $2 - $3 over spot for, not the one that comes in a box and coa for $10 to $20 over spot.

It it a 70 though, so as long as it doesn't get milk spots or other discolorations it should have some added value to "plastic buyers".

 

It is a bullion version that does not have a mintmark on it.

 

Hence, the 2014-(W) instead of 2014-W

 

Well I learned something then....thanks guys.

 

Yeah, just like the 'S' less San Fran this is a 'W' less (regular bullion issue) West Pointer......

 

I am afraid I paid too much then....lesson learned

 

No way to distinguish them so why try? And why try to make them special? LameO.......

 

Sorry Ethan........you'll do better next time.
