2010 MS

Owner Comments:

2010 Silver Eagle - Mintage: 34,764,500
Minted at: West Point (struck with no mint mark)

Elsie Viola Kachel and the lawyer/poet Wallace Stevens were married in 1909 and sometime thereafter, they moved into an apartment in a brownstone on New York's lower west side. The building was owned by a German-born sculptor named Adolph Weinman. Weinman had a rooftop studio and asked Elsie to model for him around 1913. She was 27 at the time, and if my calculations are correct, that means she would have been born in 1886. It seems quite fitting then that Weinman's beautiful half dollar design was resurrected exactly 100 years later for the American Silver Eagle.

I was planning to acquire all sliver eagles in retro black holders, but sometimes you have to make exceptions.
