2008 W 1/2 oz $25 Burnished Gold American Eagle PCGS MS 70
Exemplifying the highest level of U.S. Mint quality, this 2008-W 1/2 oz $25 Burnished Gold American Eagle has been certified MS 70 by PCGS, the perfect grade for a coin of its type. Struck at the West Point Mint from .9167 fine gold (22 karat), it contains 1/2 troy ounce of pure gold and bears the “W” mint mark, denoting its premium production. Its flawless surfaces, satiny finish, and sharp strikes make it a highly desirable choice for collectors seeking the best possible example.
Introduced in 2006, the Burnished Gold American Eagle coins were created to appeal to serious collectors who value craftsmanship and exclusivity. Unlike their bullion counterparts, burnished coins are struck on specially prepared blanks that are hand-fed into the coining press, giving them a distinctive matte-like finish. Each coin bears the “W” mint mark and is produced in lower mintages, making them significantly more scarce.
The obverse features Augustus Saint-Gaudens’ iconic Lady Liberty design, originally created for the 1907–1933 $20 Gold Double Eagle, while the reverse—designed by Miley Busiek—depicts a family of bald eagles, symbolizing strength and unity. Over the years, the Burnished Gold Eagles have become a cornerstone in modern U.S. Mint numismatics, prized for their artistry, precious metal content, and collectibility.
