The 2013 American Eagle West Point Two-Coin Silver Set was released to honor the legacy of the West Point Mint and its contribution to the American Silver Eagle program. This special edition set includes two unique finishes—an enhanced uncirculated coin and a reverse proof—both struck at the West Point Mint and bearing the "W" mint mark. Housed in an elegant black U.S. Mint presentation case with a Certificate of Authenticity, the set stands out for its visual appeal, exclusivity, and significance to collectors of modern U.S. coinage.
Historical Insight:
Released as a tribute to the West Point Mint's role in the Silver Eagle series, this set introduced collectors to a brand-new finish: enhanced uncirculated. By using multiple frost and polish levels, the Mint created a coin that brought dramatic depth and texture to the beloved Walking Liberty design. Paired with a reverse proof—already a collector favorite—this set quickly gained popularity. The 2013 West Point Two-Coin Set is now considered one of the more artistic and innovative offerings in the Silver Eagle series.
