The United States Mint has launched its first-ever laser-engraved coin, the 2025-W Proof Laser Engraved American Silver Eagle, marking a significant innovation in coin production.

Released on August 20, 2025, at noon Eastern Time, the coin is available for purchase at $105, with a household order limit of one, as per Collect Pure .

Newsweek contacted the U.S. Mint for comment via online form on Monday outside of usual working hours.

Why It Matters

Only 100,000 units of the coin have been minted. Given the limited amount, high demand is expected, and the coin may sell out quickly.

By incorporating extremely precise and intricate designs—such as the laser-engraved privy mark—counterfeiters will find it much harder to replicate the coin accurately.
