UncleBobo Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 I was just wondering if people had a preference between the two. I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vfox Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 I prefer the new finish, it seems to make the details jump from the coin. Then again so does a reverse proof.... Sadly, I own neither lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedeadpoint Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 Dumb question: What is the "regular bullion finish?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UncleBobo Posted January 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 Funny, I was actually going to make that the third option! To answer the question, the regular bullion coins have one type of finish and the special "Uncirculated" silver eagles have a slightly different finish because the planchets are burnished. I don't know exactly what that means but to me, and not to Jeff, there is a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottishmoney Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 I have no idea what you are talking about, so can you post images of them please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burks Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 I see one of those "burnished" ones today, couldn't tell the difference. If I had them side by side maybe. Side note: Man people want a lot of Silver Eagles. $18 each today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClearwaterCoins Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 I would have voted but you need a third option for "can't tell the difference!". I can not see a differance between the 2. But then again I have not seen them side by side. Maybe then I would see a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
