2021-W 1 oz American Silver Eagle Burnished Coin - Type 2
The 1 oz American Silver Eagle is a shining symbol of the United States' dedication to quality and craftsmanship. As the country's official silver bullion coin, it boasts a stunning design and guarantees purity.
The designs are authored by Adolph A. Weinman, whose Walking Liberty originally appeared on the 1917 Half-Dollar coin, and by Emily Damstra, whose Bald Eagle on the reverse, introduced in 2021, was created to commemorate the 35th anniversary of the American Eagles Program.
These coins, in particular, are burnished versions struck in the West Point branch and carry 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.
Today, SD Bullion offers 2021-W 1 oz Burnished American Silver Eagles imprinted with the new reverse design.

The Design
The obverse portrays Lady Liberty walking towards the sun with the American flag draped on her shoulder, carrying oak branches and welcoming new inhabitants.
It also contains the word “LIBERTY,” the year of issuance, the motto “IN GOD WE TRUST,” and the “W’ West Point mint mark beneath it.
On the reverse, the Bald Eagle is perched on a branch with open wings. It is surrounded by “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “ONE DOLLAR,” “1 OZ,” “FINE SILVER,” and “E PLURIBUS UNUM.”
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 Proof American Eagles.
