Message:: [QUOTE="green18, post: 1195569, member: 10103"]First off, welcome to the forum InfleXion.  <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> The difference is that the burnished (collector) coin has a "W" mint mark.  The only other ASE to have a "W" is the proof, so it's quite easy to distinguish between regular bullion issues and the collector issues.  That said, read this article.....<a href="http://www.numismaster.com/ta/numis/Article.jsp?ad=article&ArticleId=20865&et_mid=506786&rid=2200069#" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.numismaster.com/ta/numis/Article.jsp?ad=article&ArticleId=20865&et_mid=506786&rid=2200069#" rel="nofollow">http://www.numismaster.com/ta/numis/Article.jsp?ad=article&ArticleId=20865&et_mid=506786&rid=2200069#</a> I can see it now.  E-bay auctions with "S" ("S" less) ASE's for sale.  This San Fran minted eagle is a must have for your complete ASE collection.  Pay no attention to the fact that it lacks a mint mark.  You can trust me (power seller) and I have absolutley no agenda in steering you wrong......[/QUOTE]
