<p>[QUOTE=&quot;E Pluribus Unum, post: 2853291, member: 74265&quot;]I assume that a grade of uncirculated and genuine are assigned when a large quantity of coins are submitted.&nbsp; So, if someone were to submit a stash of 1,000 uncirculated 1880-S Morgans (let&#039;s say a common date and mint), and were only interested in those that were MS65 or higher.&nbsp; Then, everything graded below MS65 would come back &quot;Uncirculated.&quot;</p><p>I&#039;m still not clear about the &quot;Genuine&quot; grade.&nbsp; Is it meant for circulated coins that don&#039;t make a certain grade?&nbsp; I saw a &quot;Genuine&quot; PCGS Standing Liberty Quarter at a coin shop that caught my eye because of the low price tag.&nbsp; The guy next to me said the certification number should have a two digit number (where the grade number would be) to designate the reason why it was graded genuine.&nbsp; I believe the first digit of the two-digit number was a nine.&nbsp; I can&#039;t remember if it referred to a scratch or a nick on the rim.&nbsp; But the guy next to me knew all of the two digit codes and seemed to know his stuff.&nbsp; He examined the coin for awhile, but he could not find anything he thought was significant.&nbsp; I didn&#039;t want to buy it unless I was certain.&nbsp; You mentioned a body bag.&nbsp; What kind of coin qualifies as a body bag coin?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
