The 2019 proof silver eagle is minted at West Point,
New York and includes the original mint packaging,
velvet presentation case and Certificate of Authenticity.
The coin features the prized "W" mintmark on the reverse.
The obverse design features Adolph A. Weinman's
stunning Walking Liberty design dating back to
1916, with an ever hopeful Liberty striding
confidently toward the sunrise, draped in the
strength of the Stars and Stripes carrying in her
arms branches of laurel and oak to symbolize both
civil and military glory. The reverse design, by
United States Mint sculptor John Mercanti,
features a striking heraldic eagle with shield,
and olive branch in the right talon and arrows in
the left.
Proof coins are specially minted for collectors
and are made from highly polished planchets (coin
blanks) and dies. These coins receive the highest
quality strike possible and can be distinguished
from regular uncirculated coins by their
sharpness of detail, deeply frosted cameo image,
and brilliant mirrored background.
