The 2007-W 1/2 oz Burnished American Gold Eagle MS-69 PCGS is a collector bullion coin produced by the United States Mint at the West Point Mint, identified by the “W” mint mark.
Each coin contains ½ troy ounce of gold and is minted in 22-karat (.9167 fine) gold, alloyed with copper and silver to improve durability while maintaining its full precious metal content.
This coin has been graded Mint State-69 (MS-69) by the Professional Coin Grading Service, indicating a near-perfect specimen with strong mint luster and excellent strike detail, with only minor imperfections visible under magnification.
Burnished American Gold Eagles are struck on specially prepared planchets that are polished with a burnishing process before striking, giving the coin a unique soft satin-like finish that differs from both standard bullion and proof coins.
The obverse features Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ iconic Lady Liberty design, widely considered one of the most beautiful motifs in American coinage. The reverse displays the classic American Gold Eagle family of eagles design by Miley Busiek, portraying a male eagle carrying an olive branch flying toward a nest with a female eagle and hatchlings.
Each coin carries a $25 face value and is fully backed by the United States government for weight and purity. The coin is encapsulated in a secure PCGS certification holder to ensure authenticity and preservation.
