The 2007-W 1/10 oz Burnished American Gold Eagle MS-69 PCGS is part of the special Burnished Gold Eagle series produced by the United States Mint for collectors. Unlike standard bullion coins, burnished coins are struck on specially prepared planchets that are polished with tiny steel balls to create a distinctive soft satin or matte-like finish.
Struck at the West Point Mint, the coin carries the “W” mint mark, distinguishing it from regular bullion issues. Each coin contains 1/10 troy ounce of .9167 fine gold (22-karat) and carries a $5 face value, guaranteed by the U.S. government for its weight and purity.
The obverse features the iconic Lady Liberty design by Augustus Saint-Gaudens, widely regarded as one of the most beautiful designs in American coinage. Liberty strides forward holding a torch and olive branch with the rising sun behind her.
The reverse displays the classic family of eagles design by Miley Busiek, depicting a male eagle carrying an olive branch flying toward a nest where a female eagle protects her hatchlings. This design symbolizes strength, unity, and American heritage and appeared on American Gold Eagles from 1986 through early 2021.
This coin has been graded MS-69 by PCGS (Professional Coin Grading Service), indicating a near-perfect Mint State specimen with only minor imperfections visible under magnification.
With its burnished collector finish, West Point mint mark, and strong MS-69 certification, the 2007-W 1/10 oz Burnished American Gold Eagle MS-69 PCGS is a desirable addition to modern U.S. gold coin collections and precious-metal investment portfolios.
