The American Silver Eagle began production in 1986 and continues to be minted to this day. Struck from one ounce of pure 99.9% silver, the American Silver Eagle is the largest Silver Dollar to be struck in American history. The first Burnished American Silver Eagle was struck in 2006 at the West Point Mint and utilizes a unique strike style. The planchets of burnished ASEs have been polished prior to striking, giving them a unique finish unlike standard American Silver Eagles. Burnished ASEs are known for having much lower mintages than their standard counterparts. This complete set includes every Burnished American Silver Eagle struck, including the 2008-W with Reverse of 2007, all graded in perfect Mint State 70 condition. In 2008, the US Mint struck a small number of burnished ASEs featuring the reverse of 2007, which is noted by the lack of a serif on the U in “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA”. Less than 10% of all 2008-W Burnished ASEs are of the Reverse of 2007 variety. This set also includes the monumental 30th Anniversary 2016-W Burnished example which showcases a lettered edge. As each example in this set has a mintage less than 650,000 coins, every single Burnished American Silver Eagle is an Absolute Rarity.
