These coins differ from their brilliant uncirculated counterparts by being struck on specially prepared planchets and bearing the “W” mintmark to signify their origin at the West Point facility. The 2008 issue was the final release before a temporary halt in burnished production in 2009 due to high bullion demand during the financial crisis, making this year’s release even more historically significant for collectors. Designed by Adolph A. Weinman, the obverse of the coin features the timeless "Walking Liberty" design originally used on the half dollar from 1916–1947. The reverse, designed by John Mercanti, showcases a heraldic eagle with a shield, 13 stars representing the original colonies, and inscriptions denoting the coin’s weight and purity.
