Glad you were able to return it. Burnishing coins was a big deal mainly in the early copper Coin World, it is a means to smooth them out usually from a bout with corrosion or other damage. They generally have a glossy look as your large cent did. Think if you could iron out a coin that had rough spots or folds on it, that's about the best analogy I can give to what to look out for.
