Burnished vs. Bullion gold Eagles. Anyone seen them side by side?

Lionel

I know what "burnished" means and I've done a search of this forum, but I didn't see an exact answer to this question.

Has anyone actually at a coin dealer or show seen the 2006 W "burnished" gold Eagles next to the bullion Eagles that have been around for 20 years? Can you see a difference? What difference can you see? I've seen the burnished gold eagles in person, but I've never seen a regular bullion Eagle in person.

The deafening silence you hear on this question does speak volumes.

I have high resolution photos of $5 2006-W and 2007 FS coins in my auctions right now. You can also see some $50 burnished blank 2006-W MS70's in that auction that just finished. I'd say the fields are better and the texture is finer on the burnished blanks.

I'm responding via PM so as not to be accused of spamming.

Edited to say oops, I meant to respond via PM. it's bedtime.
