<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 2797865, member: 112&quot;]Really ? According to who ?</p><p><br /></p><p>Now maybe it&#039;s just the way you worded your comments and what you wrote isn&#039;t what you really mean. For example, had you said - </p><p><br /></p><p>If a coin has no wear, it&#039;s Mint State. Period. ....... but it won&#039;t stop being Mint State until an expert can see clear indication of wear. </p><p><br /></p><p>- then I wouldn&#039;t even be responding. But you didn&#039;t say that, so I am. Point being, there are more coins than you can count that have never been in actual circulation and yet are not mint state. And, it&#039;s quite easy for a coin to be in actual circulation and yet still be mint state. </p><p><br /></p><p>That&#039;s why I&#039;m responding to your comments, because should someone read them who doesn&#039;t know any better, they might actually believe them just the way you wrote them whether you meant it that way or not.</p><p><br /></p><p>And that&#039;s why the actual definition of mint state is a coin that has no wear. In other words, circulation is not the defining factor for it cannot be, wear is the defining factor.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
