About the Burnished American Eagle Coins
Most people have never heard of the Burnished American Eagle MS70 coins and don't know how incredibly rare and undervalued they are!
Introduced in 2006, investors may know them by their other name, "Uncirculated," but there is a lot of confusion about what that means. Many people see the MS70 grade and believe burnished coins are just bullion coins with a mint mark, but this is not correct.
The U.S. Mint makes three versions of the American Eagles. The Mint makes a bullion version, a proof version, and the uncirculated "burnished" version. The burnished version is the smallest mintage of the three versions.
The Burnished American Eagles are nearly fifty times rarer than the bullion version and about twice as rare as the famous and investor-friendly proof version.
Compare the Silver American Eagle mintages of the last couple of years. Indeed, burnished coins are the rarest mintages. Like the Proof coins, only a fraction of the total mintage will become a perfect 70 condition.
| Silver American Eagles | 2020 | 2021 Type 1 & Type 2 | 2022 | 2023 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bullion | 30,089,500** | 25,675,500** | 15,963,500** | TBD |
| Proof | 357,048* | 327,440 / 300,000 | 661,272* | TBD |
| Burnished | 138,390* | 175,000 | 160,000 | TBD |
With gold, the burnished numbers are even lower. The following chart shows the total one-ounce Gold American Eagle Bullion coins sold instead of minted. The burnished number represents the total mintage. Looking at the numbers this way is as generous as possible to the bullion mintage and as stringent to the burnished mintage. Despite the two different measures, the difference in population is still vast.

What Makes Burnished Eagle Coins Different?
Burnish is a process of manufacturing. The U.S. Mint rolls planchettes (raw metal discs) in a drum filled with millions of tiny balls only 6mm. This process makes the coin smooth and removes imperfections. The coins come out with a stunning, matte-like finish.
The uncirculated quality coins are distinguished by the presence of a mint mark, indicating their production facility. The mintages are lower because producing a burnished coin is very labor intensive. Also, the burnished coin blanks are hand-fed into specially-adapted coining presses one at a time. Many knowledgeable coin experts believe the burnishing process helps the coins look immaculate for significantly longer than other means of production.
Why Consider Adding Burnished American Eagles to your Portfolio?
Rarity drives value, and Burnished American Eagles are the rarest American Eagles. Burnished Silver American Eagles have been made annually since 2006 (except in 2009 and 2010). Despite their history and rarity, the market has just started taking notice in the last few years. As more people look for inflation protection, the demand for tangible assets is growing fast. More people are taking notice of Burnished American Eagles as a diversification strategy and affordable way to own American Eagles.
