American Silver Eagle (ASE) One Ounce One dollar MS Burnished Values

Details

Special strike $1 American Silver Eagles are a collectible variety of the popular one-ounce silver bullion coin series issued by the United States Mint since 1986, struck with so-called "burnished" (soft, sand-blasted) surfaces. Popular for their unique surface appearance, they are also desirable for having much lower mintages than their proof-surface counterparts of the same year.
