<p>[QUOTE="jaceravone, post: 582451, member: 9474"]What Andrew said. Plus, the process called burnishing is applied to the "W" eagles and is not applied to the "bullion" eagles. This process is described here on this site, just do a search for it. This burnishing process is what is applied to all the coins in the US Mint sets and not to business strike coins. </p><p> </p><p>Also important to note the terminology that the mint uses to describe each one. When the mint talks about the bullion version, the are discussing the ASE without the W and when they talk about the unc version, they are talking about the W version. Keep in mind the obvious, both are uncirculated and the differences may need to be distinguished between the two when talking with someone who is not knowledgeable. Many times you will see someone talk about the bullion version, when they really mean to be talking about the Unc "W" version and visa versa.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
