The 2006-W Burnished Platinum American Eagle marks a premium, low-mintage release from the U.S. Mint's West Point facility. Struck in 1 troy ounce of .9995 fine platinum, this $100 face value coin features a burnished (satin) finish, giving it a matte-like texture distinct from both bullion and proof strikes. With a limited mintage and no box or COA, this specimen is securely housed in a protective capsule (cap only)--perfect for collectors who value raw originality and pristine preservation.
Collector Insight:
The 2006-W Burnished Platinum Eagle stands out as one of the rarest in the series, with fewer than 3,100 coins struck. Its satin texture and West Point pedigree add to its desirability, especially for collectors pursuing the complete burnished set. Being in cap only, this piece offers value to buyers seeking authenticity with flexibility--whether for grading, display, or secure vault storage.
