Charlie Maybe, but it looks like the copper is shoping through. Of course that could be due to lighting or toning. Can you take a better & larger pic without the flash ? __________________ knowledge ..... share it   05-26-2006, 09:59 PM   #8 (permalink) GDJMSP Numismatist     Join Date: Nov 2002 Location: PA Posts: 24,638 Quote: Originally Posted by NICK66 If you got these from a bank then none of them are "uncirculated."

An uncirculated coin is defined as one without wear - it doesn't have anything to do with whether or not it's been in circulation. Circulation is defined as being used in commerce. So technically you can find uncirculated coins in circulation. It happens rather often in fact. __________________ knowledge ..... share it   05-26-2006, 10:21 PM   #9 (permalink) NICK66 Coin Hoarder     Join Date: Apr 2005 Posts: 639 My Mood: I thought "uncirculated" meant exactly that.   05-26-2006, 10:21 PM   #10 (permalink) n_sandler4 Paul     Join Date: Apr 2006 Location: Jacksonville, FL Posts: 802 ok....here are some more pics....I couldn't get a good one of the obverse....too shiny.... I think it might be polished...the reverse doesn't seem as shiny as the obverse....

I realize it sounds like a contradiction in terms, nonetheless there have been a great many coins pulled from circulation that have been graded as Mint State. And this isn't just something new that the TPGs have done. It has always been that way. __________________ knowledge ..... share it   05-27-2006, 12:53 PM   #15 (permalink) BigsWick Rat Powered     Join Date: Jun 2005 Location: Wyoming Posts: 599 Hmmm.....hard to tell from the scan. Might have been an early strike? Looks like it could be XF-45, possibly AU-50. __________________ "Yes, I do have 3 cents, but I'd rather have 97 cents change from my dollar."
