2017-W Burnished Silver Eagle (Box & COA)

The 2017-W Burnished American Silver Eagle marks the 10th year of the U.S. Mint's special burnished series, created for collectors seeking a refined version of the classic Silver Eagle. Produced at the West Point Mint using specially treated blanks, this coin features a distinctive satin-like finish and carries the "W" mint mark. Delivered in its original government packaging with a Certificate of Authenticity, the 2017-W issue offers a combination of elegant presentation and low mintage that makes it a standout among modern silver releases.

Historical Insight:

The burnished version of the American Silver Eagle was introduced in 2006 as a more refined offering for collectors. Unlike bullion coins, burnished Eagles are struck on specially prepared blanks that give them a soft, matte finish. The 2017-W Burnished Eagle had one of the lowest mintages in the series, making it a particularly attractive option for collectors looking to add scarcity to their modern silver holdings. Packaged with its original box and Certificate of Authenticity, it represents both beauty and collectibility in a single piece.
