2006-W $50 Burnished Gold Eagle SP69 Certification #11342046, PCGS #89989

Jaime Hernandez

This is the first year in which the Mint introduced Uncirculated $50 Gold Eagle's with a W mint mark.

The $50 - 2006-W Uncirculated Gold Eagles were struck in specially prepared blank planchets and polished dies giving them a Satin or Burnished type appearance. The coin has a much lower mintage than both the Mint State and Proof coins and for this reason, the 2006-W $50 Uncirculated Gold Eagles usually bring a higher premium in the market.
