2008-W 1/4 oz Burnished American Platinum Eagle (w/Box & COA)
In 2008, the West Point Mint produced a distinctive variation of its quarter-ounce platinum coin, utilizing specially treated, burnished blanks. This unique preparation process gives the metal a soft, matte appearance that sets it apart from standard bullion issues. With a remarkably low mintage of just 2,481 pieces, this twenty-five dollar coin represents a highly sought-after moment in modern American numismatics. The obverse showcases a striking, close-up portrait of the Statue of Liberty looking forward, accompanied by the word "Liberty", the year 2008, and the traditional mottos "In God We Trust" and "E Pluribus Unum". The "W" mint mark beneath the date denotes its origin at the West Point facility. On the reverse, the design depicts Lady Justice standing alongside a soaring American bald eagle. The inscriptions surrounding this detailed scene denote the nation of origin, the coin's face value of 25 dollars, its weight of one-quarter ounce, and the exceptional purity of 0.9995 fine platinum.
