The 2019-W 1 oz Burnished Gold Eagle SP-70 PCGS (FDI, Gold Foil) is a premium collector edition struck at the West Point facility of the United States Mint. The “W” mint mark confirms its West Point origin.
This coin contains 1 full troy ounce of gold and is minted in durable 22-karat (.9167 fine) gold, alloyed with copper and silver for enhanced strength while maintaining full precious metal content.
The Burnished Gold Eagle—also known as the Uncirculated version—is struck on specially prepared planchets using dedicated presses. This process creates a distinctive satin or matte-like finish, setting it apart from Brilliant Uncirculated bullion coins and mirror-like Proof issues.
Graded Specimen-70 (SP-70) by the Professional Coin Grading Service, this coin is certified as a perfect specimen with flawless surfaces and full detail under 5x magnification.
The First Day of Issue (FDI) designation confirms the coin was certified on the first official day of its release. The premium Gold Foil label enhances presentation with a refined, high-end appearance favored by collectors.
The obverse features Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ iconic Lady Liberty design, widely regarded as one of the most beautiful motifs in American coinage. The reverse displays the original family-of-eagles design by Miley Busiek.
