2020-W 1 oz American Silver Eagle Burnished Coin with Box and COA
The 1 oz American Silver Eagle is one of the most iconic silver bullion coins globally, first released by the United States Mint in 1986.
It contains 1 Troy ounce of 99.9% pure silver, making it a favorite in the numismatic market for its guaranteed weight and metal content.
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.
At SD Bullion, 2020-W 1 oz Burnished American Silver Eagles are housed in an original mint box and accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity.

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.
