2024-W CAC MS-70 First Day Of Delivery 1 oz American Gold Eagle Burnished Coin

American Gold Eagles are the United States’ official gold bullion coin. They premiered in the bullion market in 1986 with their counterpart, the Silver Eagle Coin.

Gold Eagles are 22k gold coins produced by the US Mint in varied sizes and finishes.

These coins, in particular, are burnished versions, struck in the West Point branch, and carry the “W” mint mark. The blanks used in their production underwent a special process called burnishing, which cleans them from undesired oxides, resulting in a satin 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 Proof American Eagles.

A CAC MS-70 First Day of Delivery Coin 

CAC – Certified Acceptance Corporation is globally renowned for appraising coins using the Sheldon Scale, which ranks coins from 1 to 70, apart from sovereign mints.

MS stands for Mint State, indicating a coin crafted in the format of a business circulation coin. Since it has never been in circulation, the coin has no sign of wear, tear, or scratching, which grants it a 70 grade.

CAC considers “First Day of Delivery” a coin purchased from the US Mint on the very first day it was made publicly available.
