2008-W Burnished American Silver Eagle - NGC MS-70 - Reverse of 2007
Offered here is an authentic 2008-W Burnished American Silver Eagle, certified by NGC as MS-70 and attributed as the desirable Reverse of 2007 variety.
This special variety was created during the transition to a modified reverse design for the 2008 American Silver Eagle. A limited number of 2008-W Burnished Silver Eagles were struck using a reverse die of the 2007 design, creating one of the best-known and most collectible varieties in the modern American Silver Eagle series.
The variety can be distinguished by differences in the reverse lettering and design details, particularly the appearance of the "U" in UNITED STATES, which reflects the earlier reverse hub used for 2007 Silver Eagles.
Graded MS-70 by NGC, this example has received NGC's highest numerical Mint State grade, indicating a coin with no post-production imperfections visible at 5x magnification.
