CoinWeek Giveaway # 629 Sponsored by…2017-W Burnished American Silver Eagle (PCGS SP70)

The 2017-W Burnished American Silver Eagle graded SP70 by PCGS is a standout modern collectible that blends artistry, scarcity, and flawless condition. Struck at the historic West Point Mint, this special burnished issue carries the coveted “W” mint mark and a limited mintage of just 176,739 coins. For collectors and investors alike, it represents one of the most desirable versions of the American Silver Eagle series.

This coin contains one troy ounce of .999 fine silver and measures 40.6 mm in diameter. What sets the burnished Silver Eagle apart is its distinctive satin finish. Unlike bullion strikes, burnished coins are produced using specially prepared, sandblasted blanks. The result is a smooth, matte-like surface that enhances every detail of the design. The “SP” designation stands for “Special Strike,” confirming its unique method of production.

Graded a perfect SP70 by PCGS, this coin shows no imperfections, even under 5x magnification. PCGS encapsulation protects the coin and guarantees its pristine condition. Adding to its appeal is the exclusive First Day of Issue designation. This label is reserved only for coins released by the U.S. Mint on June 29, 2017, making it an elite subset of an already limited mintage.

The PCGS label is hand signed by John Mercanti, the 12th Chief Engraver of the U.S. Mint and designer of the Silver Eagle’s original heraldic eagle reverse. His signature enhances both the collectibility and long-term desirability of this certified coin.

The obverse features Adolph A. Weinman’s timeless depiction of Lady Liberty draped in the American flag, striding toward the rising sun. This iconic design first appeared on the Walking Liberty Half Dollar in 1916 and remains one of the most celebrated images in American coinage. On the reverse, a heraldic eagle appears beneath 13 stars representing the original colonies, with the “W” mint mark displayed below the eagle.

The 2017-W Burnished American Silver Eagle SP70 PCGS with John Mercanti signature combines perfect grade, low mintage, historic design, and First Day of Issue status. For the CoinWeek Contest 629 Giveaway, it stands as a modern numismatic treasure worthy of any advanced collection.

Good luck, and happy collecting.
