The 2013-W 1 oz Burnished Gold Eagle MS-70 NGC (ER/FR) is a premium collector issue produced 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 struck 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 (Burnished) version—is struck on specially prepared planchets using dedicated presses, creating a distinctive satin or matte-like finish that sets it apart from standard bullion and proof issues.
Certified Mint State-70 (MS-70) by the Numismatic Guaranty Company, this coin is graded as a perfect specimen with flawless surfaces, sharp strike detail, and full original mint luster under 5x magnification.
The Early Releases (ER) / First Releases (FR) designation indicates the coin was received by NGC within the first 30 days of its official release, enhancing early-issue collectible appeal.
The obverse features Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ iconic Lady Liberty design. The reverse displays the original family-of-eagles design by Miley Busiek.
