2019-W Burnished Silver Eagle with Box & COA

<div>
  <!-- SUMMARY -->
  <p>
    In 1916, amid a nation shifting toward modernity and resilience, sculptor Adolph A. Weinman unveiled a design that would capture the enduring optimism of America: the Walking Liberty. Originally gracing the half dollar, this dynamic image of Liberty has come to signify both hope and renewal for generations of Americans. By 1986, as the United States sought to rekindle its prestige in the realm of precious metal coinage, Weinman’s artistry was chosen to become the defining feature of the American Silver Eagle series, linking each new release to a century-old lineage of numismatic excellence.
  </p>
  <p>
    The 2019-W Burnished Silver Eagle stands firmly within this legacy, produced at the storied West Point Mint. Its burnished finish echoes the meticulous dedication of those who, centuries before, regarded coinage not merely as commerce, but as a canvas for the nation’s highest ideals. Each release from West Point carries forward the tradition of precision and grandeur that collectors and investors alike have come to revere.

  <p>
    The symbolism of the Walking Liberty motif reaches beyond aesthetics. Draped in the American flag and advancing toward the rising sun, Liberty calls to mind the perpetual journey of the republic — ever forward, guided by enduring values. Branches of laurel and oak in her arm evoke both peace and strength, embodying the complexity and resilience at the heart of the American experiment.

    On the reverse, John Mercanti’s heraldic eagle takes center stage, a modern counterpart to Weinman's classical vision. The eagle, wings outstretched and clutching arrows and an olive branch, signals the country’s readiness to defend its ideals while yearning for peace and prosperity. The thirteen stars above commemorate the original states, forever anchoring the coin in the narrative of American unity.
  </p>
  <p>
    Every detail of the 2019-W Burnished Silver Eagle is a touchstone to a broader story—of artistry, aspiration, and the continuity of tradition amid change. For numismatists, owning such a coin is to hold a tangible piece of 20th-century art, 21st-century minting excellence, and the ceaseless evolution of national identity.

  <h3>Design Features</h3>

    <strong>Obverse:</strong> The obverse showcases Adolph A. Weinman’s famed Walking Liberty, originally introduced in 1916. Liberty is depicted striding confidently toward the dawn, enveloped in the American flag, her right hand extended and her left arm cradling laurel and oak branches. The inscriptions “LIBERTY,” “2019,” and “IN GOD WE TRUST” afford the design both solemnity and stately grace, while intricate sunbursts and folds in the flag highlight Weinman’s mastery of movement and depth.

    <strong>Reverse:</strong> The reverse features John Mercanti’s adaptation of the Great Seal of the United States. A powerful bald eagle shields the union with its outspread wings, balancing arrows (for defense) and an olive branch (for peace) in its talons. Thirteen stars, arranged in a triangular pattern above the eagle, mark the original colonies. Below, inscriptions declare the coin’s weight, purity, and country of origin; the coveted “W” mint mark affirms its West Point pedigree and burnished finish.
