The 2007-W Burnished Silver Eagle is the sophomore release of the U.S. Mint's satin-finish "Uncirculated" (often called burnished) Silver Eagle series. Struck on specially prepared blanks at the West Point Mint and carrying the "W" mintmark, this .999 fine-silver coin bridges the gap between bullion and proof issues, offering collectors a refined matte sheen and low-reflective texture. Each coin is housed in its original U.S. Mint presentation box and accompanied by an official Certificate of Authenticity (COA).
Historical Insight
The 2007-W Burnished Silver Eagle built on the success of the 2006 debut and confirmed the burnished series as a regular offering from the U.S. Mint. This release offered collectors the same elegant satin finish and "W" mintmark, creating a clear distinction from bullion and proof issues. With a larger mintage than the 2006 version, it still retains collector appeal due to its finish, format, and place in the early evolution of the burnished series.
Collector Note
The 2007-W is a vital piece for those building a complete Silver Eagle collection by year and finish. Often collected alongside its 2007-W Proof counterpart, it helps showcase the contrast between proof and burnished textures—making it especially appealing for display or educational purposes.
