Owner Comments:

For the Silver Eagle series' 20th anniversary, the U.S. Mint released a Silver Eagle with the new burnished finish. This involves an extra step involving polishing the planchets, which leads to a more matte appearance of the finished coins. Additionally, the "W" mint mark was used on an MS Silver Eagle for the first time this year. These were released individually and as a part of a three coin set celebrating the 20th Anniversary of the Silver Eagle. The US Mint offered these directly to the public instead of selling them only to authorized dealers. These were released from 2006 to 2008 and then not again until 2011.
