The 2003-W Modern Commemorative First Flight Centennial Proof $1 Coin PCGS PR-69 DCAM is a stunning tribute to the Wright brothers' historic first powered flight in 1903, celebrating a century of aviation achievement. Struck in 90% silver, this coin was issued as part of the U.S. Mint’s Modern Commemorative Series and showcases remarkable design and craftsmanship.
Graded PR-69 DCAM (Proof 69 Deep Cameo) by the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS), this coin is in near-perfect condition, with deep, reflective fields and frosted designs, which provide a striking contrast typical of the "Deep Cameo" finish. This grade indicates that the coin has nearly flawless visual appeal with only minimal imperfections visible under magnification. PCGS slab also displays the signature of John M. Mercanti.
The reverse design captures the essence of flight, with the iconic image of the Wright brothers' airplane soaring over the sands of Kitty Hawk, while the obverse features a portrait of the brothers themselves. The "W" mintmark signifies that this coin was struck at the West Point Mint, known for its high-quality production standards.
Please note that the coin does exhibit slight orange discoloration, which is a minor flaw but does not detract from its overall appeal. This subtle tarnishing may add character and uniqueness, but does not affect the coin's overall condition or value.
As a centennial commemoration of one of the most important moments in human history, this 2003-W First Flight Centennial Proof $1 Coin is a perfect addition for collectors of aviation history or those seeking a high-quality, limited-edition coin. Whether displayed or stored as part of a collection, this coin is a timeless tribute to human ingenuity and progress.
‘’I would highly recommend making online purchases from Stout Gold & Silver. I was a little hesitant at first because it was going to be my first time purchasing from them so I gave them a call and they took extra time to walk me through the process. Turns out there was not much to it, I placed the order for check payment, mailed off my check and they sent me an update when my order was being shipped out. All the pieces of silver came exactly as described and were undamaged, they did a very good job packaging the pieces. All and all, I am very satisfied and look forward to placing my next order with them. I hope this is helpful comment for anyone interested in doing business with them.’’

‘’Best Gold and Silver dealer bar none! And the safe storage is both affordable and very secure. This business also has the advantage of being owned run by Tom Stout, who i would trust with just about anything. Admittedly I'm friends with Tom as well as a customer but he really is a man of his word, if he says it, that's the way it's going to happen.’’
