Heed your own advice and google 'uncirculated'. Cheers.

 

So, literal. That's not how this Hobby works, google UNC.

 

Yes. Hence the entire point being discussed here. An uncirculated coin is one that is in a mint state of preservation, MS60 or higher.

 

Which is only one of the three definitions? Trying to reason with blocks of stone here.

 

I mean, it literally says an uncirculated coin is defined as being mint state, as per the ANA definition you yourself quoted. I don't know what else there is to talk about.

 

I have five words for ya,
Wa Wa Wa Wa Waaaah.
And some folks think that a bright white silver coin wasn't dipped, or cleaned too.
MS= is the preservation of a coin since it was struck. Yes, this is the same as uncirculated.

 

It literally says that is one of three meanings. You have both selectively quoted me and modified the quote.

The Royal Australian Mint refers to this as an uncirculated coin, what logical conclusions can you draw from this statement?

A) the coin is not intended for general circulation
B) the coin has a premimum 'uncirculated' finish
C) the coin has not entered circulation
D) if ordered, the coin will very likely arrive in Mint State
E) All of the above

 

Not, with todays grading standards.
Any ways, if you want to get literal?
Do you think that the only coins uncirculated?
Are proof examples?

 

Yea, you're really drifting off into the margins dude.

 

The logical conclusion I draw is they've no clue of what "Uncirculated" means. Only "C" meets the definition of "Uncirculated," because Uncirculated means the coin hasn't circulated. This is not rocket science.

Either A), B) or D) above stop meeting the definition of "Uncirculated" if the coin circulates. That's not rocket science either. Take one of those three, wear it down to Very Fine, and tell me it's Uncirculated....
