Roy Messer, an artist who lives in Wharncliffe, designed the seal, which includes the old county courthouse, a steam engine and a coal miner with a pick and shovel.
The border is made of 35 stars, since West Virginia was the 35th state admitted to the union.
Messer was asked to take up the project by Circuit Court Judge Michael Thornsbury.
The Mingo County Commission is expected to vote on the seal at its Wednesday meeting.
