<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 293933, member: 112&quot;]No, not at all. What I think is confusing you here is a matter of definition and proper word usage. There are basically two types of coins, business strikes and Proofs. Business strikes are the coins made for commerce - the ones that we see in use and that circulate. Proofs are made for collectors only. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now where the confusion comes in is that too many people call a business strike coin an unc or uncirculated. That is improper word usage. Uncirculated is a description of condition or grade, it is not a type of coin. The proper term to use when describing this type of coin is business strike.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, it means a coin without any wear is uncirculated. But don&#039;t be confused by one the other poster&#039;s comment that an MS60 has more wear than an MS70. This is not correct at all. An MS60 coin has no wear whatsoever. The difference is that an MS60 has many more marks and dings, less luster and may not be as well struck as an MS70.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
