Description
2006-W American Gold Eagle Burnished (1/4 oz) $10
Certified NGC MS70
American Eagle Uncirculated Burnished Coins for Collectors
The United States Mint also offers collectible, uncirculated versions of the popular gold and silver American Eagle Coins. All American Eagle Uncirculated Coins carry the same stunning designs found on their Proof counterparts.
The term "uncirculated" refers to the specialized minting process used to create these coins. Although they are similar in appearance to American Eagle Bullion Coins, these uncirculated coins are distinguished by the presence of a mint mark, indicating their production facility, and by the use of burnished coin blanks, which are hand-fed into specially-adapted coining presses one at a time.
Coin Design
Obverse: A version of Augustus Saint-Gaudens' full-length figure of Liberty with flowing hair, holding a torch in her right hand and an olive branch in her left.
Reverse: Male eagle carrying an olive branch flying above a nest containing a female eagle and eaglets.
Coin Artists
Obverse: Augustus Saint-Gaudens (1848 - 1907)
Reverse: Miley Busiek, Sculptor
