History of the Burnished Silver American Eagle
The Burnished Silver Eagle was introduced by the U.S. Mint in 2006 to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Silver Eagle series. Unlike proof or bullion versions, burnished coins undergo a unique minting process — each planchet is hand-polished and struck under controlled pressure, creating a distinct matte finish. The “W” mintmark denotes its origin at the prestigious West Point facility, known for producing America’s most collectible and investment-grade coins.
The 2017-W release continues this tradition of excellence, bridging artistry and investment value. Its limited production and meticulous craftsmanship make it one of the most desirable modern Silver Eagles for both collectors and investors seeking a tangible symbol of American pride.
