<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dannic113, post: 1356672, member: 35203&quot;]Just from looking at my coins it seems as though the 2011 UNC(bullion strike) have the field and lady liberty showing the same finish that all ASE&#039;s have shown since 1986. As does the 2011 west point 25th anniversary eagle. My (S) San Fran strike without mint mark the field is the same as the west point but the lady liberty has more of a polished finish. I would not go so far as to say that it&#039;s a reverse proof polishing but it has more of that type of look than the west point coins. Now the 2011 W from the 25th anniversary set seems to have the same finish as the 2011 west point. That&#039;s kind of odd because when you look at 06,07,and 08 W burnisheds the polishing is so pronounced they actually look frosted and thus duller than a bullion strike ASE. The S mint 25th anniversary coin has the high polish on lady liberty from the san fran (S) coins but also has a highly polished field to match. The proof 25th anniversary coin is a typical proof eagle same as from the beginning of the proof ASE&#039;s. Finally the reverse proof has the dull looking frosting (like the burnished W coins of 06,07,and08) in the field and a super high polished mirrored proof finish on lady liberty. So there are/can be slight differences with the dies so they aren&#039;t really lying however as with all coins earlier struck coins from fresh dies look crisper and more beautiful than those struck just before a die is retired. Look at my coins my West point burnished looks very close to the west point regular bullion strike.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
