Complete History of the Silver Eagle Coin

Owner Comments:

Weinman had all the pieces in place during this year to get the inspiration for the Walking Liberty. He used Oscar Roty’s “The Sower” aka “The Semeuse” as his inspiration for Lady Liberty. This was the year he completed the Union Soldiers and Sailors Monument. He used the head of Liberty and the branches from this sculpture and he used the full-length view of Liberty as striding toward the sun from “The Sower”. It would be several years before the combination would be used to make the Walking Liberty, but the pieces were slowly coming together.
