<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 582748, member: 66&quot;]That&#039;s the scam.&nbsp; As the dies wear slightly the satin finish fades and the coins begin to look like regular business strikes.&nbsp; So you search the mintsets for the well struck clean coins that do not show the satin finish and submit them to try and get them graded as the very rare top grade business strikes.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve never understood the who-hah over the burnished pieces.&nbsp; ALL of the planchets are burnished after they are annealed&nbsp; so when they say the W mintmarked SAE is struck on a burnished planchet it doesn&#039;t really say anything because the bullion coins are struck on burnished planchets as well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
