<p>[QUOTE="Travlntiques, post: 1936947, member: 39129"]Yes indeed, coins that are this new still in their packaging will look "perfect", but there is a rather significant price difference between an actual perfect "70" graded coin over a "69". The Proof coins would be designated "PF-xx" and the Uncirculated coins a "MS-xx" as "BU" is a generalized term rather than an actual grade. I think the $5 gold piece you mention is a lower mintage and they must have been doing the "burnished" finish that year. I'm not 100% on that, one of the gold folks can help you there![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
