Hey guys, Does anyone know the true fact on the variety Dollar in the 2000 Millennium Set? What's the story here? Is the variety that the Sac. Dollar suppose to be a burnished and in fact, it's not? or is the variety aspect that the Dollar isn't suppose to be a burnished and it is? Confused here? Here is a picture of the one that I almost bought today. What do you think? The coin pictured, is it a burnished, proof or business strike? I do see the D Mint mark. Lol. Thanks guys.

--- If it should happen I die and leave this world and you want to remember me. Please only remember my opening Sig Line.The 2000-D Sac$ from the Millennium set was issued burnished, however, some sets were found with a regular 2000-D Sac$, i. e. NOT burnished.
there were less then 20 that were graded non burnished and they used to sell for big premiums, i would assume they still do
How can you tell the burnished ones from the Non burnished ones? This is the difficult part. And nobody is showing this. The difference? Can you tell from the pics I took of the coin in my OP? Is this the Burnished or the Non Burnished? Thanks
To me, it DOESN'T seem Burnished. There is a Pic on the smalldollar.com website, but it is difficult to determine by it's photo.

I have no idea what the specific coin in question 'should' look like, however, the coin in your picture does not appear burnished to me. Cheers, RickO

the sac is burnished, i purchased 200 sets from the mint in 2000 and had several graded, the burnished sac dollars have a darker, richer appearance, yours is burnished, no question about it
I had posted this thread https://forums.collectors.com/discussion/1052223/burnished-2009-p-sacagawea-or-not
Lots of replies but I never got a definitive answer...
It's very confusing because the word Burnished actually means highly polished!
But apparently burnished coins have a matte like silky finish?
Which I figured would have been described as a satin finish.
By the way this is the suspected Millennium Set one I found in my 1000 small dollars hunt...very worn but still absolutely mirror like with nice crisp edges and strong strike. I originally posted it in my results thread for that search as possibly being from the Millennium Set...

There were recently some Millennium sets on the BST. Why not shop there?
the outer part of the rim is not crisp on the dirty one above
I agree...I meant the inside of the rim, it just looks like it must've been a spectacular coin before getting circulated.

Thank you everyone for all your advise and suggestions. I just saved myself $100, by not pulling the trigger. You influenced me. Lol. Thanks.
