[QUOTE="YoloBagels, post: 7423002, member: 94739"]Brilliant is referring to the proof finish of the coin. In 1936 two types of proof cents and nickels were made. Satin finishes and Brilliant finishes. Brilliant finished coins are more like today's proofs as they are like a mirror, while satin finishes are more crusty. I believe the brilliant finish usually demands a slightly higher premium.[/QUOTE]
