A Top-Graded 2006 W Burnished Half-Ounce Gold Eagle
The 2006 W 1/2 oz Burnished Gold Eagle is a 22-karat U.S. Mint coin holding half a troy ounce of .9167 fine gold, carrying a $25 face value and graded MS 70 by NGC. Burnished coins are struck on specially prepared blanks that give a soft, satin-like surface, which sets them apart from standard bullion strikes and mirror proofs. The W mint mark on the coin is part of what collectors look for in this version.
Burnished Finish Meets a Perfect Grade
The Gold Eagle carries Augustus Saint-Gaudens' striding Liberty on its obverse, her torch raised and an olive branch in hand, with the year of mintage. The reverse of this 2006 piece shows the family of eagles motif, a male eagle flying toward a nest where the female and young wait, along with the denomination and weight. NGC assigned MS 70, the top mark on the 70-point Sheldon scale, meaning graders saw no imperfections under 5x magnification. MS stands for Mint State. Holder and label styles can differ from one coin to the next.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does burnished mean on a 2006 W Gold Eagle?
Burnished coins are struck on blanks that receive special treatment before striking, giving a satin finish that sits between standard bullion and proof. This example is also graded MS 70 by NGC, the highest grade on the Sheldon scale.
How is the price of a 2006 W burnished half-ounce Gold Eagle set?
Dealers begin with the spot price for half an ounce of gold, then add a premium that reflects the burnished finish, the MS 70 grade and their own costs. Premiums differ by dealer, so comparing published prices is the clearest way to see the spread.
