2008-W 1 oz Burnished American Platinum Eagle (w/Box & COA)
In 2008, the West Point Mint produced a distinctive version of its prestigious platinum coin, utilizing specially prepared burnished blanks. This treatment gives the metal a unique, soft appearance that sets it apart from standard bullion releases. With a remarkably low mintage of just 2,876 pieces, this one-ounce coin represents a fascinating moment in modern American numismatics, combining extreme rarity with exceptional purity of 0.9995 fine platinum. The obverse features a close-up, powerful rendering of the Statue of Liberty looking forward. Inscriptions on this face include the word Liberty, the year 2008, and the traditional mottos In God We Trust and E Pluribus Unum. On the reverse, the design presents a symbolic pairing of Lady Justice alongside an American bald eagle. This side of the coin also displays the face value of 100 Dollars, the weight of 1 oz, the metal purity, and the United States of America country name, alongside the W mint mark signifying its origin at the West Point facility.
