2018 W Silver Eagle Numismatic Coins

The 2018-W Silver Eagle numismatic coins represent a celebrated chapter in modern American coinage, crafted with precision at the West Point Mint and carrying the unmistakable “W” mint mark. Each coin contains one troy ounce of .999 fine silver, marrying tangible value with artistry. The obverse features Adolph A. Weinman’s revered Walking Liberty design, an emblem of hope and resilience that has graced U.S. coinage since the early 20th century. On the reverse, John Mercanti’s heraldic eagle stands as a testament to American strength and tradition. These coins are available in both proof and burnished finishes, each with its own distinctive appeal. Proof coins are renowned for their mirror-like surfaces and frosted details, achieved through a meticulous striking process that highlights every nuance of the design.

Both versions are frequently accompanied by Certificates of Authenticity, underscoring their status as official U.S. Mint products.
