[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 993661, member: 112"]Based on your question I don't think you understand what burnished means. Burnished is just another word for polished. It's just that simple. That said, the reason people use the word burnished is to differentiate polishing that is done by the Mint and polishing that is done by somebody after a coin leaves the Mint. Now, a coin burnished by the mint can be uncirculated or circulated - either way it is still burnished. And it is worth noting that sometimes the burnishing is done before the coin is struck and sometimes it is done after the coin is struck.[/QUOTE]
