2008-W $100 Burnished Modern Bullion Coin NGC MS70 One-Ounce Platinum Eagle

Presenting the remarkable 2008-W $100 One-Ounce Platinum Eagle, certified NGC MS70. This burnished modern bullion coin, struck at the revered West Point Mint, stands as a testament to perfection in coinage. Its pristine Mint State 70 grade from the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) signifies an unblemished surface, free of any imperfections at 5x magnification, making it highly desirable for discerning collectors seeking top-tier specimens.

Historical Background and Numismatic Relevance

The American Platinum Eagle series, launched by the United States Mint in 1997, quickly gained prominence as the first and only platinum bullion coin from the U.S. Mint. It showcases the iconic "Portrait of Liberty" by John Mercanti on the obverse and an eagle soaring above America on the reverse. The 2008-W burnished edition is particularly notable. Burnished coins are struck on specially prepared planchets, giving them a distinct satin-like finish that sets them apart from standard bullion strikes. These collector-focused issues from the West Point Mint ('W' mint mark) often feature lower mintages, adding to their appeal within the modern numismatic landscape. Acquiring a perfect MS70 example from this series marks a significant addition to any comprehensive collection.
