cmdrstp Valued Member United States 113 Posts	Posted 10/31/2009 7:20 pm Another stupid question..... American Silver Eagles come in three types. Proof, uncirculated or burnished, and bullion. Proof (beautiful!), I understand. Uncirculated or burnished has a satin finish, and bullion looks like a typical uncirculated look. Are my assumptions correct? Also, the coin is 99.9 Ag. What is the 0.1%? Again, thank you for your help and patience. Stephen Edited by cmdrstp 10/31/2009 7:37 pm Report this Post to the Staff
