Historical Insight:

The burnished version of the American Silver Eagle was first introduced in 2006 to mark the 20th anniversary of the series. Unlike standard bullion issues, burnished Eagles are struck on specially prepared blanks that are manually fed into the coining press. This process results in a soft, satin-like finish that gives the coin a refined appearance and lower reflectivity. The 2013-W issue had a modest mintage of 222,091 pieces, making it one of the more limited annual releases in the burnished series. Collectors prize these coins not only for their beauty but also for their relative scarcity and numismatic value. When accompanied by its original box and COA, the 2013-W Burnished Silver Eagle becomes a complete and highly collectible piece of modern U.S. coinage.
