Thank you both for the fred weinberg idea. I have fired off a picture and asked the questions he may be able to answer. I had never heard of fred w. so this is a great resource. I'll let you know if he gets back to me with any good information. Thanks again.

QueenKoin, While I don't know you other than your presence on this forum it is apparent you are a gifted individual when it comes to coins. I would say we are probably from two different schools, OLD and NEW, and I am from the old school. You younger folks have a whole new way of seeing and doing things which is neither good nor bad so we are just different in some areas. GDJMSP was the first graduate from the OLD school so that explains his/our answers. You won't budge, we won't budge but the important thing is we have placed two different opinions out there for everyone to draw of off! This is good!
Now, is that avatar really you as I need to know whether or not to "wink" back?

QUEENKOIN

I'm new school huh?

I have been collecting for over 30 years....I don't work as I have retired at a young age.
and yes the avatar is indeed me, on a Winged Liberty dime....That image is only three years old....

btw any coin marked by Gov or in any register or even on an armored truck is circulated unless sold by mint or private company that bought the, by mint

My opinion is that "Uncirculated" is a condition, not a history.

satootoko

All this fooferaw about the meaning of "uncirculated" brings to mind the story told about Honest Abe when he was a lawyer instead of a profile on a coin.

He is said to have asked "How many legs would a dog have if you called the tail a leg?" His answer was "Four, because calling the tail a leg doesn't make it a leg." In other words, if a "rose is a rose is a rose", then a coin which has circulated is "circulated"; but a coin that looks like it did before it left the mint is "mint state". So Lucy must be right.

On the other hand, as Humpty Dumpty told Alice, when someone uses a word it means what the user intends, so if "uncirculated" is defined as "showing no signs of wear", Doug must be right.

But then . . . (ain't this fun?)

Okay, you got your wink back! But I must disagree again as the best you could do with GDJMSP will probably be about uncirculated! No way will he make MS let alone an MS68!

Spider

so GD and Lucy stop the arguement and u both win
