I was offering a possible explanation as to why the Mint describes them as "Enhanced Uncirculated". In fact, I don't have one in hand so all I have to go by is the Mint's description. They only discuss unclassified and lightly/heavily frosted (textured) surfaces. I don't see anything in the description about a mirrored finish. </p><p><br /></p><p>I agree that some of the surfaces "appear" to have a mirrored finish. You describe the fields (I assume that's what you mean by "backgrounds") as being mirrored, but the Mint says they are "lightly frosted". Perhaps, in contrast, the uncirculated and lightly frosted finishes appear more polished than they really are...I have no idea without seeing one "in-hand". </p><p><br /></p><p>Perhaps someone that has one already can share their opinions...:thumb:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
