Each of the 2022-W 1 oz Burnished American Gold Eagles offered here comes with US Mint packaging. The coins are housed in plastic capsules and are housed in display boxes. The coins are presented in a Gold Eagle-themed outer shipper and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity from the mint.

Burnished Gold Eagles were introduced in 2006 with 1 oz, 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz, and 1/10 oz options. The coins were offered as such through 2008, with the Great Recession forcing a two-year pause in the series in 2009 and 2010. When the Burnished Gold Eagle returned in 2011, it was offered only as a 1 oz coin. Each Burnished Gold Eagle has unique, matte visuals that result from the coin blanks being burnished in drums with a polishing medium before being struck in coin presses.

The obverse of the 2022-W Burnished American Gold Eagle comes with a depiction of Lady Liberty. Designed in 1907 by Augustus Saint-Gaudens, this iconic image shows Liberty in full-length, front-facing relief as she strides forward with a torch in one hand and an olive branch in the other.

On the reverse side of 2022-W 1 oz Burnished Gold Eagle Coins is a modern image of the American bald eagle. Introduced in mid-2021, this design from Jennie Norris shows a bald eagle’s head in left-profile relief with incredible layers of detail.
