I don't believe anything that would be described as "burnished" has ever been minted, let alone in 2017. Not really sure how burnishing even could be part of the minting process, as it's by definition a type of polishing that takes place after minting, which would be considered post mint damage.

HGK3 Pillar of the Community United States 572 Posts	Posted 01/14/2021 10:42 am The US Mint makes "burnished" Silver Eagles and Gold Bullion coins. All such coins come from the West Point mint, so would bear the W mint mark. Their definition of "burnishing" includes an extra step of polishing the blanks before minting, such that it produces a more satiny, less shiny coin after being struck. I agree with Sam that your dime shows signs of extreme die wear. Those radial flow lines mean the die was close to retirement age when this coin was made. Report this Post to the Staff
