    Hey everyone...

    Picked up some raw Austrian 5 Euro coins this week. All seem to have an SMS-type finishI see that there are two versions, the BU and the Special Uncirculated. I'm not sure how to tell which is which - anyone know for sure?

    2002 - Tiergarten Schönbrunn (2)
    2003 - Wasserkraft
    2005 - 100 Jahre Skisport
    2005 - Europa Hymne
    2006 - Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
    2007 - 100 Jahre Wahlrechtsreform
    2007 - 850 Jahre Mariazell
    2008 - Herbert Von Karajan (has less of a proof like finish, so maybe this one is the BU?)
    2009 - Joseph Haydn
    2009 - Tiroler Freiheit
    2010 - Winterspiele 2010 (snowboarding)
    2010 - Winterspiele 2010 (ski jumping)
    2010 - Grossglockner Hochalpen-strasse


    Here is a quick scan of the coins (since there are a few of them):
