The 2023-W 1 oz Burnished Gold Eagle (w/Box & COA) is a special collector version of the American Gold Eagle, produced at the West Point Mint facility of the United States Mint. The “W” mint mark appears on the coin, signifying its West Point origin.
This coin contains 1 full troy ounce of gold and is struck in durable 22-karat (.9167 fine) gold, alloyed with copper and silver for enhanced strength while maintaining full gold content.
The Burnished Gold Eagle—also known as an Uncirculated (Burnished) issue—features a unique matte-like finish created by striking specially treated planchets on dedicated presses. This finish gives the coin a soft, satin appearance distinct from both standard bullion and mirror-like proof coins.
The obverse showcases Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ iconic Lady Liberty design, widely regarded as one of the most beautiful images in American coinage. The reverse displays the modern bald eagle portrait introduced in 2021, symbolizing American strength and resilience.
This offering includes the original U.S. Mint presentation box and Certificate of Authenticity (COA), confirming its official Mint issue and specifications. Burnished Gold Eagles are struck in limited quantities, enhancing their collectible appeal.
