2023-W $1 1-oz Burnished Silver Eagle PCGS SP70 First Strike w/Flag Label

2023’s Burnished Silver Eagles Are Here!

Since 1986, the United States Mint has released Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) condition bullion Silver Eagles every year. And, with the understandable exception of 2009, annual Silver Eagle Proofs have always followed close behind. However, there’s one type of Silver Eagle that has a far fewer collective mintage than either one above—the Burnished Silver Eagle. Struck from specially burnished planchets, these Silver Eagles are perennial collector favorites—that is, when they see the light of day! First introduced in 2006, the Burnished Silver Eagle saw three years of production before taking a pause in 2009 and 2010 due to The Great Recession. Minting resumed in 2011 and has been going strong ever since. Now, the 2023 Eagles have landed!

A Magnificent Matte Finish Meets Iconic Designs!

This 2023 Burnished Silver Eagle showcases the best of American artistry and craftsmanship. Adolph A. Weinman’s classic Walking Liberty graces the obverse side while the Eagle designed by Emily Damstra appears on the reverse. Damstra’s design replaced John Mercanti’s Heraldic Eagle design in 2021. However, the artisans at the West Point Mint add a special dimension to this time-tested standard. Each one-ounce blank of 99.9% pure silver is specially burnished, giving the finished Silver Eagle a smooth matte finish. In addition, the coin is also struck with a special “W” mintmark, unlike the BU Silver Eagle. It all comes together in a spectacular coin that your collection can’t be without!

Perfect Burnished Silver Eagles From Among The First Struck!

Your legal-tender one dollar U.S. 2023 Burnished Silver will be graded by the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) as being in flawless Specimen-70 (SP70) condition, a distinction that means your perfectly-graded coin will have ZERO imperfections—showing all features and fields exactly as the engraver and mint intended. In addition, PCGS has certified that your Burnished Silver Eagle is a First Strike (FS) coin, a designation that means your coin was received by PCGS or an PCGS-approved depository within the first 30 days of the coin’s release. It will also come sonically sealed in an acrylic case with a white core insert and encapsulated with a special American Flag label.

While recent production numbers for BU Silver Eagles can be measured in tens of millions, average Burnished Silver Eagle mintages usually count in the low 100,000s. Combine those figures with this Silver Eagle's superb finish and you can see why these coins don’t take up residence in our vault for long. Don’t wait—make this 2023 Burnished Silver Eagle yours today!
