<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 503771, member: 66&quot;]The first link tells us that ALL planchets are burnished before striking, both the Goodacre and the regular coins.&nbsp; So that burnishing can&#039;t be the cause&nbsp; of their different appearance.&nbsp; It does say that the Goodacre coins are cleaned after striking but includes no information about what that cleaning was, what methods or techniques were used etc.&nbsp; Also the Mint changed their story about the coins several times so any information from them I consider suspect.</p><p><br /></p><p>The second link was much more infomative but he describes the coins as being prooflike which is not my impression of the ones I have seen.&nbsp; He basicly describes the coins as being struck from polished dies.&nbsp; Now I will grant he has seen more of them than I have, but the few I have seen were not prooflike.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
