2006-W 1/2 oz Burnished Platinum Eagle $50 (Cap Only)

The 2006-W 1/2 oz Burnished Platinum Eagle is a collector-favorite from the U.S. Mint's specially issued burnished series. Struck at the West Point Mint in .9995 fine platinum, this $50 legal tender coin features a burnished (satin) finish, providing a soft matte luster distinct from the glossy shine of proof or standard bullion coins. Offered here in mint-issued capsule only, this raw example delivers platinum purity and numismatic rarity in its most direct form-ideal for collectors or investors looking to preserve or submit for grading.

Collector Insight:

With a mintage of only 1,501, the 2006-W 1/2 oz Burnished Platinum Eagle ranks among the rarest in the entire Platinum Eagle lineup-especially in the fractional denominations. Its limited release, coupled with the unique satin finish, makes it a highly desirable piece for serious collectors of U.S. modern numismatics and platinum investors alike.
