The 2013 American Eagle West Point Two–Coin Silver Set contains one silver “reverse” proof quality coin and one silver “enhanced” uncirculated quality coin. On the reverse proof coin, the mirror–like background finish of a traditional proof coin is applied to the design elements, achieving a magnificent contrast. On the obverse (heads side) of the enhanced uncirculated coin, the mountains, red stripes, and blue parts of the American flag; the year; and Liberty’s sandals have an uncirculated finish. The remaining elements and lettering on the obverse have a heavy frosted finish. On its reverse (tails side), the ribbon in the eagle’s beak, arrows, olive branch, alternating stripes in the shield, and the border around the shield have an uncirculated finish. The lettering and other design elements on the reverse have a heavy frosted finish. The fields on both sides of the coin have a new light frosted finish. All these enhancements – unique to this coin – add sharp definition to the designs. These two coins will only be available in this special set.

Both coins are struck in 99.9 percent silver and bear the “W” mint mark of the bureau’s West Point facility. The coins’ obverse design features Adolph A. Weinman’s full–length figure of Liberty in full stride, enveloped in folds of the flag, with her right hand extended and branches of laurel and oak in her left. The coins’ reverse design features former United States Mint Sculptor–Engraver John Mercanti’s heraldic eagle with shield, an olive branch in the right talon, and arrows in the left. The coins are displayed in a custom blue lacquer presentation case accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity.
