The normal uncirculated silver eagles sold through offical distributors in boxes of 500 as bullion are struck at West Point without a mint mark. Sales of these are in multiples of millions, at least ten this year if not 15.
The "burnished uncirculated" silver coins sold directly to the public in individual capsules and boxes are struck at West Point with a W mint mark. Sales of these are in the hundreds of thousands.
Hope this helps.
