That sort of attitude implies very little experience with actual coins from circulation.

 

BEEN COLLECTING OVER 50 YEARS , GET A CLUE

 

Then why haven't you learned that grading is subjective yet? And I'd think you mature enough not to have to resort to all caps in a forum post. Is that the kind of hospitality a new member should expect here? I should hope not.

I'm going to repeat: grading is subjective, and it is not difficult to pull coins from circulation which any capable grader of the series would call Mint State. This is not exactly secret knowledge.

 

and , if you sell those circulated coins as uncirculated , shame on you

 

What if I got it slabbed first?

 

waste your money fool

 

Yikes! I thought these unpleasant exchanges were for partisan lines. Ha, ha!

 

They're for the street outside the local bar lol

 

No, you are incorrect. Grading describes the amount of wear a coin has, not if it's been used in commerce.

 

duh , a coin is either circulated or uncirculated , the grade is another ballpark .. look up the meaning online

 

Talking pretty big smack for a new guy...... dumb, dumb, dumb.......

 

It appears it is you who needs to get a clue... @SuperDave is completely 100% correct and so am I when I say it and so are the 99% of the collectors in this hobby when they say it! If you truly have "BEEN COLLECTING OVER 50 YEARS" as you say, you need to take a refresher course then.

Agreed ^ 100%

 

both clueless

 

Might I add arrogant.....

 

look here is the standard "An uncirculated coin refers to the condition of a coin that indicates that it has never circulated in the regular money supply in the economy. In other words, the coin shows no signs of wear on any of its surfaces. Since most modern coins are mass-produced in large quantities, it is common that the coin may have small nicks and scrapes on its surface from the production process and being transported in bags and bins. These minor imperfections are not from circulation and hence the coin is still considered an uncirculated coin." get real , you do not find uncirculated coins lying on the ground

 

Seems the problem here is how the words "uncirculated" and "mint state" are used in relation to one another. If you want to be purely literal, yes "uncirculated" means a coin that was not used in circulation.
However, you still find coins that were used in circulation which are "mint state" and do not have any wear aside from nicks and bag marks and such. Much in the same way as an "uncircualted" coin from a mint bag may be lower than "mint state" due to wear from being in contact with other coins during the packaging process.

 

Well gee that's funny. So then every year when the new years' coinage gets found in circulation and those who send it in still get MS grades... are those at the TPG's clueless too???
And are we all just not as smart as you??
Plain and simple, a coin can be circulated and still grade uncirculated, the wear of the coin is what's important. 2 fingers that touched the coin..... mean nothing.

 

Well even though you are correct, I guess your "clueless" to Chuck for believing what is right.... oh well...
