Issued as the fourth release in the U.S. Mint's America the Beautiful (ATB) 5 oz silver series, the 2010-P Grand Canyon Burnished Silver Coin captures the awe-inspiring vastness of one of America's most iconic natural landmarks. This special burnished version—identified by the "P" mint mark was struck at the Philadelphia Mint using a vapor-blasting technique to achieve a smooth, matte finish distinct from the brilliant uncirculated (BU) version.
