2025 “2009 Missing Year” Commemorative – 1oz Silver – PCGS PR70DCAM First Day of Issue

A fascinating and highly unusual 2025 “2009 Missing Year” Commemorative Silver Round, containing 1 troy ounce of .999 fine silver and professionally certified by PCGS at a perfect PR70DCAM.

This privately issued commemorative was created as a tribute to one of the most intriguing gaps in modern American Silver Eagle history: 2009, the year in which the U.S. Mint did not produce a Proof American Silver Eagle.

🦅 The “Missing Year”

Demand for bullion silver during the global financial crisis placed enormous pressure on U.S. Mint production. As a result, although bullion Silver Eagles were produced in 2009, no regular 2009 Proof Silver Eagle was released.
This modern commemorative imagines that “missing” Proof issue, carrying the dual 2009/2025 date beneath the Walking Liberty design.
Importantly, this is a privately produced commemorative silver round and not an official U.S. Mint American Silver Eagle.

⭐ Perfect PCGS PR70DCAM

This particular example has received the highest possible Proof grade from Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS):
PR70DCAM – Proof 70 Deep Cameo
The Deep Cameo designation recognises the exceptional contrast between the deeply mirrored proof fields and heavily frosted design elements.
It also carries the desirable First Day of Issue designation, adding another premium feature to an already distinctive collectible.

It makes an excellent companion piece to a collection of genuine American Silver Eagles, particularly for collectors interested in the famous 2009 Proof “missing year.”

Important Collector Information

This item is a privately issued commemorative silver round. It is not legal tender, was not struck by the United States Mint and should not be confused with an official American Silver Eagle. The “Silver Eagle” wording appearing on the PCGS label forms part of the commemorative issue's description.
A distinctive 1oz .999 silver collector piece with an excellent story behind it and the ultimate PCGS PR70DCAM grade.
