Description

A Silver Eagle from the West Point Mint, the 2010 (W) American Silver Eagle belongs to the American Silver Eagles 1986 to Date series. The U.S. Mint produced 34.8 million examples, making this the higher-mintage of the two mint variants, representing 98% of production. The obverse features Liberty striding confidently toward the sunrise, draped in the American flag, carrying branches of laurel and oak symbolizing civil and military glory — Adolph Weinman's iconic design adapted from the Walking Liberty Half Dollar and the reverse displays a heraldic eagle behind a shield, designed by John M. Mercanti — the most reproduced coin image in history (1986-2020) or an eagle in flight carrying an oak branch, the redesigned reverse by Emily Damstra introduced in 2021 (2021+). A modern issue from an era of rotating coin designs, collector-focused programs, and renewed interest in numismatic artistry. The West Point Mint, once a bullion depository, became a full production facility specializing in commemorative and bullion coinage. Auction record: $3,550 MS69 04-12-2021 eBay. Struck in 99.93% silver, .007% copper, weighing 31.1 grams, 40.6 mm in diameter, with a reeded edge. Cataloged as PCGS #415532.
