U.S. Mint Reports Semi-final Sale Results for Special West Point Silver Eagle Set

Lewisville, Texas — 251,695 special West Point Silver Eagle 2-coin Sets were reported sold during the four week ordering window that ended on June 6th. This total will likely increase slightly when orders from the last few hours of the ordering window are included.  The American Eagle Silver Coin Program has been one of the United States Mint’s most popular programs. Following the Mint’s tradition of periodically offering special, American Eagle Silver coin sets, earlier this year, a limited release 2013 American Eagle West Point Two-Coin Silver Set was announced.  The sets were available for order during a four-week ordering window beginning May 9, 2013, at noon (ET) and ending June 6, 2013, at 5 p.m. (ET).  OK Ranch Land and Cattle Company has sixty of these unique sets on order, with staggered delivery dates beginning in July and continuing through September, 2013.
This set – one American Eagle Silver Reverse Proof Coin and one enhanced American Eagle Silver Uncirculated Coin minted at the United States Mint at West Point – is a testament to the fine, exacting craftsmanship that has been a United States Mint hallmark since 1792.
Each of the coins in this elegant two-coin set has special features. The proof coin features a “reverse proof” finish. Reversing the mirror-like background finish of a traditional proof coin and applying it to the design elements of the coin achieves a magnificent contrast.
The uncirculated coin features enhancements that are unusual for an uncirculated coin. On the obverse, the mountains, the red stripes and blue parts of the United States flag, the year, and Liberty’s sandals have an uncirculated finish. The remaining elements and lettering on the obverse have the heavy frosted finish. On the reverse of the coin, the ribbon in the eagle’s beak, the arrows and olive branch, the 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 the heavy frosted finish.
The fields on both sides of the coin have the light frosted finish. All these enhancements – unique to the American Eagle Silver Uncirculated Coin in this set – add sharp definition to the designs.
The coins are encapsulated and will be packaged in a single custom-designed, highly polished, blue lacquered hardwood presentation case, accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity.
