[QUOTE="Info Sponge, post: 993814, member: 20538"]The mint has a product line confusingly called "uncirculated" which is sold direct, as opposed to the "bullion" silver Eagle which goes through the dealer network. The Mint site says "In a process similar to that used to create the magnificent American Eagle Proof Coins, American Eagle Uncirculated Coins are hand-loaded into the coining press, struck on specially burnished blanks and carry the "W" mint mark of the United States Mint at West Point." So if the bullion coins have burnished blanks, is there a difference between "burnished" and "specially burnished"? In other words, do the coins the Mint calls "uncirculated" differ in anything other than handling and mint mark from the bullion coins?[/QUOTE]
