Introduced in 1986, the popular and now-iconic American Eagle Silver Uncirculated Coins are collector versions of the official United States Mint American Eagle Silver Bullion Coins. These popular silver collectibles are struck at the West Point Mint. The classic Walking Liberty design by Adolph A. Weinman featured on the coin’s obverse has long been a collector favorite. After 35 years, this famous design has been refreshed. Thanks to technological advancements in the design and minting process, it now encompasses some of Weinman’s original details that were not previously possible. The reverse design is completely new. To give the new coins an added level of security, they have also been updated with enhanced security features, including a reeded edge variation. Uncirculated, or “Burnished” Eagles are struck using specially burnished blanks which results in a satin-like finish. Burnished coins are smooth to the touch and display striking detail. Note that the U.S. Mint does not use the term “burnished.” Instead, the mint refers to these coins simply as “uncirculated.” It’s the numismatic community that continues to use the term burnished in reference to coins produced through the special minting process. These special burnished coins also bear the "W" mint mark on the reverse of the coin.
