So out of 760,000,000 coins only 5,000 had GG for the artist?


Something got twisted somewhere.

The winning artist (GG) was to be paid $5000. Being no dummy*, she said she wanted paid in the coins.

Seeing a chance for publicity, the mint agreed, burnished 5000 coins and had a special presentation ceremony.
*She promptly headed over to NGC, paid the bulk rate and had them slobbed.

I have one, a strike-thru that proves they were burnished after striking, and the first Sac error found.

It would be interesting to compare yours to mine to see if some of them are close or the same.
I am still having problems telling burnished from unburnished....among other things...heh..heh.. :)
