2012-W $1 Silver Eagle First Strike, DCAM PR70DCAM Certification #24938849, PCGS #511656

On the 16th of February 2026 and using my ELIKLIV microscope and Vantage 10X loupe, I examined this coin and describe it thusly. The Obverse shows no scratches, marks, or dings. I see no toning, spotting or cloudiness except for a small cluster of spots above and to the right of the "I" of "Liberty" and another 2 small spots to the right of the "B" of "LIBERTY". The Reverse has no scratches, marks, or dings. I see numerous water spots scattered about with most through the "1 OZ. FINE SILVER" area and a golden tone on some of the letters and numbers and on the coin edge. This is a very nice coin with the exception of the water spotting on both sides. This coin is held in a PCGS Flag "First Strike" holder of Generation 4.5 that was used from December of 2011 and until January of 2013.
