1 oz American Platinum Eagle Burnished Coin in Capsule - Random Year
The US Mint introduced Platinum Eagles in 1997, boosting the American Eagles Program, which released Silver and Gold Eagle coins to the numismatic world in 1986.
Platinum Eagles are legal tender with a face value of USD 100 and contain 1 oz of .9995 fine platinum.
These coins, specifically, are Burnished Platinum Eagles. Burnished coins undergo a special process that cleans the blanks from undesired oxides formed during the annealing and rimming steps. That creates a coin with a satin look that highlights the fine details of the design elements.
Today, SD Bullion offers 1 oz American Platinum Eagle Burnished Coins in Capsule of varied years of mintage, randomly selected from our inventory.

Burnished Coins
A Burnished American Eagle Coin results from a “burnishing” process, hence the name. It essentially means that the blanks are cleaned from all oxides formed during the annealing and rimming process. In other words, burnished coins get a satin look and a smooth surface but less reflective luster than the proof version.
