Burnished American Silver Eagle coins represent the latest addition to the popular American Silver Eagle Series from the United States Mint. The coins debuted in 1986 with the bullion and proof versions, but the Burnished Silver Eagle would have to wait for the 20th anniversary of the series in 2006. Available in extremely low mintages each year, the Burnished Silver Eagle is the ideal collector’s coin. The 2015-W 1 oz Burnished American Silver Eagle Coin is available to you for purchase online from JM Bullion with a perfect grade from the PCGS.

Like many collectible silver coins on the market today, the highest mintage figures for the Burnished American Silver Eagle coins came in the initial years of availability. Mintage jumped from 466,000 coins in 2006 when the burnished version debuted, to 621,000 coins for the 2007 release. However, after a drop in 2008, the coins were halted for 2009 and 2010 as the mint coped with intense demand for silver bullion.
The burnished version in the series is a special coin, with its own distinct visual beauty from the proof coins that gives the burnished option a special place in the collection of any numismatist that prefers to display or even showcase their specimens at coin shows.
On the obverse of the 2015-W 1 oz Burnished American Silver Eagle Coin you’ll find the image of Walking Liberty. Her figure walks toward the sun as it sets behind a mountain in the distance. The design is meant to reflect the nation’s drive toward a brighter future, with Liberty at the front of the pack leading the nation onward.
The reverse of the Burnished American Silver Eagle Coin includes the heraldic eagle of the United States. Refined for use on the Silver Eagle in 1986, it captures the bald eagle behind the nation’s heraldic shield. In its right talon is the olive branch of peace, while the left talon clutches onto the arrows of war.
All 2015-W 1 oz Burnished American Silver Eagle Coins here are available in Mint State 70 condition.
