2007-W Burnished American Silver Eagle

The 2007-W Burnished American Silver Eagle had a total mintage of just over 621,000 coins from the West Point Mint. This uncirculated coin was prepared on burnished planchets, and were sold directly to the public which stood in contrast to the regular uncirculated Silver Eagle coins that were sold to authorized dealers.

History of the 2007-W Burnished American Silver Eagle

The uncirculated 2007-W Burnished American Silver Eagle can be differentiated from the Philadelphia struck uncirculated version by the ‘w’ mint mark on the reverse of the coin. The design on the obverse of the American Silver Eagle was inspired by the “Walking Liberty” design of the Walking Liberty Half Dollar that was designed by Adolph Weinman. It was one of the most beloved designs of all American coins and was revived for the American Silver Eagle coins. The reverse was designed by John Mercanti. It features the American Bald Eagle behind a shield. The eagle is holding arrows and an olive branch in its talons. Above the eagle are 13 five-pointed stars that represent the 13 original colonies.
