2021-W 1 oz Burnished American Silver Eagle Coin PCGS SP70 FS (Type 2)

Burnished American Silver Eagles are produced by the United States Mint by first burnishing the blanks. Prior to striking the designs in a coining press, the silver blanks used in production are polished in a drum with a burnishing medium that creates a matte finish. The blanks are handled with gloved hands.

All of the 2021 American Silver Eagle Coins represent a final opportunity for investors and collectors to own the original design combinations in the series. On the 35th anniversary of the series, Walking Liberty and the Heraldic Eagle appear together for the final time. By the end of 2021, the series will have transitioned to the use of a new reverse design depicting an American bald eagle in flight.

The obverse of 2021-W Burnished American Silver Eagles comes with the historic vision of Walking Liberty. Created by Adolph A. Weinman, this design from the early 20th century shows Liberty in left-profile relief walking toward the sun on the horizon as the American flag is draped over her shoulders.
