<p>[QUOTE="crystalk64, post: 47327, member: 1873"]I am afraid GDJMSP is correct on this one. Lets say the cashier just busted that roll of nickels open into her drawer. It is still a new, never circulated piece, and if you handled it correctly it still will NOT have fingerprints on it. If you want a circulated coin put it in your pocket and carry it with your other change for a few weeks and then there will be no doubt about what it is. Until it shows signs of wear it is uncirculated and still a mint state coin! QueenCoin you would probably be shocked at how many uncs. you currently own (modern coins) that left the mint and then the Federal Reserve that are uncs! And remember coins are now shipped out of the Mint in HUGE bags that can hold literally millions of coins and they are all shifting around during transit. Then the Federal Reserve or an armored car service get a hold of them and dump them in to counters or wrapping machines, then boxed and shipped again but they actually still haven't been circulated so cracking a roll into a cash register doesn't warrant a coin being circulated. Wear, dirt, grease and grime does![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
