Burnished American Silver Eagles were also introduced in 2006 to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the American Silver Eagle program. Since their release, they have remained a popular option for collectors. These coins are produced using specially prepared burnished blanks that are individually fed into the coining press. This method results in a smooth, matte-like finish that differs noticeably from both standard bullion strikes and traditional proof coins. Today, 2026-W 1 oz Burnished American Silver Eagle Coins are available at JM Bullion.

The 2026 Burnished Silver Eagle is a coin packed with important milestones. The 2026 American Eagle release marks the 40th anniversary of this popular series, while 2026 also marks the 20th anniversary of the first Burnished Silver Eagle release from the US Mint. Additionally, the US Mint is celebrating the nation’s semiquincentennial in 2026 with dual-date obverse designs and an America 250 Liberty Bell emblem on all of its major proof coins. 

All 2026-W 1 oz Burnished American Silver Eagle Coins arrive in capsules housed in a US Mint presentation box. The box is protected by a themed shipper and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity. The 2026 Burnished Silver Eagle features an enhanced uncirculated finish. This combines the soft, matte visuals of the burnished strike with the frosted elements of a proof strike to create a unique visual element on the coin.

On the obverse of the 2026-W Burnished American Silver Eagles is Adolph A. Weinman’s well-known Walking Liberty design. Originally created for the United States half dollar in 1916, the image depicts Liberty in full-length, left-profile relief as she moves toward the horizon. She is shown with the American flag draped around her shoulders, her right arm extended forward, and her left arm carrying branches of oak and laurel.

The reverse of the 2026-W 1 oz Burnished Silver Eagle Coin features a detailed depiction of the bald eagle designed by Emily Damstra. Introduced in 2020 and released in mid-2021, this design presents the eagle descending in flight with its wings raised as it grasps an oak branch.
