2011-W 1 oz American Silver Eagle Burnished Coin with Box and COA

In 2011, the US Mint celebrated the 25th anniversary of the American Eagles Program. This important landmark is certainly one of the main appeals of the 2011 mintage.

Crafted from 99.9% fine silver, the American Silver Eagle's purity and weight of 1 Troy oz are certified by the U.S. government.

These US Silver Eagles, in particular, are Burnished coins minted at the West Point branch and bear the “W” mint mark. The blanks used in their making underwent a special treatment process called burnishing, which cleans them from undesired oxides, resulting in a matte finish with more vivid design details.

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. This way, burnished coins get a satin look and a smooth surface but less reflective luster than the Proof version.
