[QUOTE="Islander80-83, post: 3929150, member: 104278"]Good question. Yes, it's confusing I know. How can a coin that is found in "[B]circulation[/B]", actually be "[B]uncirculated[/B]"? It's an oxymoron. It's all based on grade, determined be the TPG'ers. Yes, sellers on eBay may and may not be listing raw coins found in circulation as [B]uncirculated[/B]. Some are, some aren't. You have to know what you're looking at. Many of the W quarters found in circulation today are actually Mint State, a grade much higher then [B]uncirculated[/B]...... go figure. I'm not the best person to articulate this conundrum but I think you get my point. Like [USER=41219]@furryfrog02[/USER] indicates, if the coins actually never touch a consumers hand they are considered uncirculated. I'll also argue even if they do, they can still be found in circulation in Mint State condition. Why? Because I have some.[/QUOTE]
