Burnished Finish and SP70 Grade
The "Burnished" finish is a special minting process that gives the coin a distinctive, matte-like, velvety appearance, unlike the highly reflective surface of a standard proof coin. The coins are struck using specially burnished, polished blanks, and each is placed in its own capsule by the U.S. Mint . The Specimen-70 (SP70) designation is the highest possible grade a coin can receive, meaning it has no visible imperfections under 5x magnification .
