[QUOTE="Vess1, post: 728851, member: 13650"]Uncirculated has become a loose, overly used, generic term that is meaningless most of the time. To me, uncirculated would imply that it never circulated, therefore, it could also be called 'mint state'. Which the seller was unwilling to call it because it's obviously not MS. So what is it? Would really need larger pics to give any kind of relatively accurate grade. NGC price guide lists an EF-40 at $52.90 and an AU-50 at $258.00. And they're usually high.
