<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SuperDave, post: 2797593, member: 1892&quot;]Well, I already know Kurt and green18 well enough to know they&#039;re survivors. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>This place can get rough-and-tumble sometimes, and your reaction to that kind of input has been spot-on. You pretty much had me when you reacted to the derail by linking the Genesis video. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Oh, and as to your original question: If the coin hasn&#039;t circulated, it&#039;s Mint State. Period. It may be adjudicated &quot;Questionable Color&quot; or something similarly stupid (in the case of your coin, which plainly toned in a roll), but it won&#039;t stop being Mint State until an expert can see clear indication of circulation. The grade shouldn&#039;t be affected unless the toning is judged improper, at which point the TPG&#039;s usually call it &quot;Uncirculated Details&quot; or something like that, and the [strike]anal[/strike]observant collectors among us (raises hand) will usually assign a precise numerical grade for the visible details as if the disqualifying color weren&#039;t there.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
