Historical Background of the American Silver Eagle Series
The American Silver Eagle series, first introduced in 1986, quickly established itself as a cornerstone for collectors and enthusiasts of precious metals. Bearing the iconic "Walking Liberty" design by Adolph A. Weinman on its obverse, originally featured on the 1916-1947 half dollar, these coins symbolize liberty and freedom. The reverse showcases John Mercanti's heraldic eagle design. The "W" mint mark signifies production at the West Point Mint, known for striking many of the U.S. Mint's collector-focused offerings, including these special burnished uncirculated editions. The 2013-W issue continues this tradition, delivering a coin that combines historical artistry with modern precision.
