2012-W Burnished Silver Eagle (Box & COA)

The 2012-W Burnished American Silver Eagle continues the U.S. Mint's collector-focused legacy, offering investors and numismatists a refined version of the classic Silver Eagle. Struck at the West Point Mint using specially burnished blanks and finished with a soft satin sheen, this coin exemplifies quality and craftsmanship. With a limited mintage and original government packaging, the 2012-W Burnished Eagle remains a key piece for anyone building a complete Silver Eagle collection.

Historical Insight:

The 2012-W Burnished Silver Eagle represents the sixth year of this collector-specific finish introduced in 2006. These coins are struck on specially treated planchets and carry the "W" mint mark of the West Point Mint, distinguishing them from standard bullion issues. With a relatively low mintage and refined appearance, the 2012-W edition is both a beautiful piece and a strategic addition to any modern silver portfolio. Its inclusion of the original government packaging and COA enhances both its appeal and authenticity.
