The 2022-W 1 oz Burnished Gold Eagle (w/Box & COA) is a special collector edition produced at the West Point facility of the United States Mint. The “W” mint mark appears on the coin, confirming 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 to enhance strength while maintaining full precious metal content.
The Burnished Gold Eagle—also known as the Uncirculated (Burnished) version—is struck on specially prepared planchets using dedicated presses. This process creates a soft, matte-like satin finish that distinguishes it from both Brilliant Uncirculated bullion issues and mirror-like Proof coins.
The obverse features Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ iconic Lady Liberty design, widely regarded as one of the most beautiful images in American coinage. The reverse showcases the modern bald eagle portrait introduced in 2021, symbolizing American strength and national pride.
This offering includes the original U.S. Mint presentation box and Certificate of Authenticity (COA), verifying the coin’s authenticity and official Mint specifications. Burnished Gold Eagles are typically produced in more limited quantities than standard bullion coins, enhancing their collectible appeal.
