<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Rodger Coman, post: 6299463, member: 112410&quot;]Numismatists use the term burnished to describe the coins’ unique finish. Burnished coins appear matte and less shiny when compared to a standard bullion coin. This is the result of polishing the blanks before they are struck. Some collectors believe burnishing adds longevity to the design. It is important to note the U.S. Mint identifies <a href="https://www.apmex.com/search?q=burnished" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.apmex.com/search?q=burnished" rel="nofollow">burnished coins</a> simply as uncirculated coins. The U.S. Mint’s burnished Eagle coins are produced in limited quantities only at the West Point Mint in New York. For this reason, the coins include a “W” mintmark beneath the reverse image. They are in low mintage and that makes them worth more.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
