<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 3251918, member: 112&quot;]I would point something out that all may not be aware of. Whenever you read the word &quot;burnished&quot; in a numismatic article such as those linked above the word is nothing more than a euphemism for polished. That&#039;s what burnished means - polished. And the word burnished is used because in numismatics the word polished has a strong negative connotation to it. Typically only the planchets are ever polished, before striking, and this happens with a great many coins, especially those that are only minted for collectors. </p><p><br /></p><p>But a select group of the Sackys, they are one of the very few and possibly only cases where the coins themselves were polished after they were struck.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
