1 oz American Gold Eagle Burnished Coin – Design Our Choice – Capsule Only
The American Eagle Coin Program launched with the introduction of two 1 oz bullion coins—one gold and one silver—quickly becoming top choices among investors and collectors. The 1 oz Gold American Eagle is struck in 22k gold and released by the U.S. Mint in a range of finishes, all featuring iconic imagery of Lady Liberty on the obverse and the American Bald Eagle on the reverse.
The Burnished Gold Eagle offers a unique, satin-like appearance created by specially treated blanks that are polished and cleaned before striking. This process enhances the depth and clarity of the coin’s details and gives it its distinctive matte finish.
SD Bullion now offers 1 oz Burnished American Gold Eagles in Capsules, selected at random from our inventory based on availability at the time of shipping.

The Obverse Design
The obverse showcases Lady Liberty striding forward with confidence, holding a torch of enlightenment in her right hand and an olive branch of peace in her left. “LIBERTY” arches across the top, with the Capitol Building appearing in the background. The year of mintage is displayed on the right side of the design.
Reverse Design – Type 1
Designed by Miley Busiek, the original reverse features a Bald Eagle family. A female eagle shelters her hatchling while a male eagle rests on the nest, symbolizing unity, strength, and protection. Surrounding inscriptions include “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “E PLURIBUS UNUM,” “IN GOD WE TRUST,” and the specifications “1 OZ. FINE GOLD—50 DOLLARS.”
Reverse Design – Type 2
Introduced in 2021 for the 35th anniversary of the program, the Type 2 design by Jennie Norris presents a close-up profile of a bald eagle with a powerful and detailed gaze. The inscriptions remain the same as the Type 1 design.
Burnished Coins
Burnished coins undergo a specialized process in which blanks are cleaned of oxides formed during minting preparation. This produces a smooth, satiny texture that is less reflective than a proof finish but strikingly detailed. Burnished Eagles are known for their refined appearance and low-mintage appeal.
