<p>[QUOTE=&quot;QUEENKOIN, post: 47408, member: 656&quot;]We have to agree to disagree, as there is no convincing me, any coin that enters the system so to speak and is handled and exposed such as a cash register has now entered circulation and is circulated. It is that simple.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p>I am probably the last person here you should try and lecture about buisness strike coins and why collectors focus on high grades. As one that is a regular submitter and one that assists people with Registry sets and actively seeks raw coins in a attempt to get them into GEM grade holders, I probably have a clue in this area.</p><p><br /></p><p>The final grade of any specific coin is determined by its state of preservation, and I agree no matter were you find it, thats what i have been saying as many Mint State coins come from circulation. And sometimes a AU coin comes from a mint set, such as the case with a 61 Frankie I submitted years back, I cut this coin from its original packaging and it came back AU58, somehow the coin had rub that I missed as I examined it. </p><p><br /></p><p>And the proof example holds no water, as you now would have a proof that entered the system and is now a circulated proof, yes its still a proof and not because of condition as you imply but because of specific minting techniques and planchet preperation for these coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
