To burnish metal is to polish it so that it shines. This is not something that coin collectors would do to a collectible coin, since some small part of the coin would be polished away by this process, and the objective of coin collecting is to keep the coin as close as possible to its original condition when minted. If you are not a coin collector, then burnishing a coin is irrelevant to its value.
