Dearborn Moderator United States 94892 Posts	Posted 05/30/2021 11:32 am when it comes to identifying between Strikes of Eagle Coins Which is witch? Obviously a Proof is a proof strike (same goes for the Reverse proof) So lets ignore them for now. I'm talking about the Uncirculated/bullion/burnished coins Lets look at how the US Mint labels them. look at the COA of the 2011 Eagle Set: it has the: W Uncirculated W Proof (to be ignored in this discussion I hope) P Reverse Proof (This one too) No MM Bullion S Uncirculated Are all the Non- proof coins considered Burnished Coins? Or are they labeled as the Mint did on the COA? My question arises due to the fact the I will be collecting the 'Burnished' Eagles at some point Collecting since 1972.

bzookaj Pillar of the Community United States 587 Posts	Posted 05/30/2021 1:07 pm There's bullion (no mm), uncirculated (with mm), and proof (with mm). Burnished and uncirculated are the same coins. The mint only sells the uncirculated and proof directly to customers. Bullion has to bought from authorized dealers. Edited by bzookaj 05/30/2021 1:08 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 94892 Posts	Posted 05/30/2021 1:21 pm AH! Got it, Thanks. I'm guessing now that bullion coins will generally sell a scosh above Spot then? Collecting since 1972.

MrPink2018 Pillar of the Community United States 2460 Posts	Posted 05/30/2021 7:00 pm ehhh... you might want to have a look at APMEX (as just one example) to see what they're selling for. I just looked. you can get a random date bullion ASE for $38.... or you could spend as much as $59, depending on the date, so those prices are $10 - $30 over spot. edit: additionally, the only burnished coin they have listed (with box & COA) is the 2011-W for $59.99. they have some slabbed, not many choices tho.

Dearborn Moderator United States 94892 Posts	Posted 05/30/2021 7:45 pm Thanks Mr. Pink Great information. Luckily A already have the 2011-W (and a few others that were issued in multi coin sets. (2006, 2011, 2012, 2013). Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

MrPink2018 Pillar of the Community United States 2460 Posts	Posted 05/31/2021 03:02 am I'm sure some of the other usual, big-name dealers have at least a few different makes, dates & mints. I just used APMEX as one example. yeah, I did the same, I assembled a burnished set once i'd acquired those same coins in those same sets. I acquired a blank ASE dansco album for the burnished ASEs.
