Exactly how many 2006 W ASE's were minted

I've been looking all over ebay. I want to pick one up that's cracked out or has a 68 grade or something. People are describing all sorts of crazy things regarding minting numbers, burnishing, etc.
Facts. What are the facts? What's the mintage, and if they are "specially burnished" why aren't they designated as so by the TGP's?

Burnished dies are just specially prepared and the burnished have the W mint mark on them to separate them from the bullion coins.
<< <i>270,000 sold individually, 250,000 more in anniversary sets and either 30 or 50,000 in set with the gold coin.

I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
