“Reverse of 2007” Variety

In 2008, a small number of the burnished W-mint Silver Eagles were struck using the previous year’s reverse design hub. The differences are subtle but well documented by specialists:

• On the 2007 reverse, the U in UNITED has a straighter, less curved bowl, and some feather and star details differ slightly from the later hub.

• Later 2008 issues use the updated Reverse of 2008 with refined lettering and details.

Because this older reverse was used in error for only a portion of the 2008-W burnished production, the “Reverse of 2007” variety is significantly scarcer and has become a key modern variety in the Silver Eagle series.

Design

As with all American Silver Eagles:

• Obverse: Adolph A. Weinman’s classic Walking Liberty design (originally from the Walking Liberty half dollar, 1916–1947), with Liberty striding toward the sunrise wrapped in the U.S. flag and carrying laurel and oak branches.

• Reverse (2007 hub): Heraldic eagle with shield, clutching arrows and olive branch, 13 stars above, inscriptions UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, 1 OZ. FINE SILVER, and ONE DOLLAR, with W mintmark below the eagle’s left talon.

The burnished finish gives the coin a soft, matte-like luster distinct from both the standard bullion strike and the mirror-like proof, and the MS70 grade ensures maximum eye appeal.

Collector’s Value

This coin checks several important boxes for modern U.S. collectors:

• Desirable key variety – the 2008-W Burnished Reverse of 2007 is one of the most talked-about Silver Eagle hub varieties.

• Perfect NGC MS 70 grade provides top-tier quality and strong registry appeal.

• Hand-signed Mike Castle label ties the piece to the legislative history behind America’s modern coin programs and adds an extra layer of interest.

• Struck in 1 oz of .999 fine silver, combining bullion weight with true numismatic significance.

Whether you’re assembling a Silver Eagle date/variety set, building an NGC registry set, or simply want a standout modern U.S. silver dollar with a story behind it, this 2008-W Reverse of 2007 Burnished NGC MS70 Mike Castle–signed coin is an excellent centerpiece.
