When the United States Mint introduced the Burnished Gold Eagle in 2006, the coins were available with 1 oz, 1/2 oz, 1/4 oz, and 1/10 oz gold weights just like the BU and Proof collections. After a two-year hiatus in 2009-2010, the fractional-ounce coins were discontinued. Today, those weights are popular with collectors. Right now, 1/4 oz Burnished Gold American Eagles in near-perfect condition are available to purchase online at Silver.com.

Each of the 1/4 oz Burnished Gold American Eagles available here is a near-perfect specimen. Coins in SP69 condition exhibit full, original mint luster with a maximum of two minor detractions. Examples of acceptable flaws at this grade include only minuscule contact marks or hairlines located outside of the primary focal points of the coin.

We will select your coins from available inventory at that point in time. If you buy multiples, please keep in mind you may receive coins that have matching dates and labels.
The obverse of 1/4 oz Burnished Gold Eagles features a portrait of Lady Liberty. Designed in 1907 by Augustus Saint-Gaudens, this visual depicts Liberty in front-facing relief as she walks toward the viewer with a torch held up in her right hand and an olive branch in her left. Sun rays emanate from the horizon behind Liberty’s figure while the U.S. Capitol Building is visible at her feet and a ring of 50 stars encircle the design element.
On the reverse of 1/4 oz Burnished Gold American Eagles is an image of a family of American bald eagles. This depiction of the eagles comes from Miley Busiek and was created in 1986 for this series. It shows a male eagle soaring over the family nest as a female guards a group of hatchlings in the nest.
