@YesOrNo: The burnished silver eagles produced by the US Mint have a more satiny finish than the standard bullion version. The RCM might be offering the SML with a similar type of finish. The US Mint's burnished coins look similar to their bullion counterparts when viewed individually, but when put side-by-side, the difference between the two versions can be easily seen.
Much of the added attention given to the "Pride of Two Nations" set was because it contained coins that were not available elsewhere - not individually, not in other sets. If it simply had coins that could be purchased individually, I doubt very much it would have generated the same level of interest/excitement.
