2024-W PCGS SP-70 First Strikes 1 oz American Silver Eagle Burnished Coin

2024-W PCGS SP-70 First Strikes 1 oz American Silver Eagle Burnished Coin

American Silver Eagle coins showcase captivating designs that reflect patriotism and national pride, adorned with famous American symbols. 

The obverse side features Adolph A. Weinman's Walking Liberty, originally seen on the 1917 Half-Dollar coin, while the reverse side displays Emily Damstra's Bald Eagle, designed to mark the 35th anniversary of the American Eagle Program.

These specific coins are burnished versions, minted at the West Point branch, and feature the “W” mint mark. The blanks used in their making went through 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 2024-W 1 oz Burnished American Silver Eagles, taken among those available for purchase in the US Mint within the first 30 days of their official release, graded as SP-70 samples, and sealed in PCGS slabs.

The word “LIBERTY,” the motto “IN GOD WE TRUST,” the “W” West Point mint mark, and the year of issuance complete the design.

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.
