<p>[QUOTE="Dave M, post: 3126060, member: 17469"]Sure. Get a new coin from the bank, and put it in a box for 100 years. It will be in mint state when you pull it out, right? Even if you actually "circulated it" getting it home? And let's say one other person touched that coin in the process of bringing it home - still pretty new isn't it? Two people? Still basically mint state, unless one of them dropped it.</p><p><br /></p><p>The question of getting it graded is orthogonal, though. Paying $20-30 to have a coin graded is usually more a matter of whether the final product is worth an incremental $20-30 over what it would have been worth without the grading fee. That's not related to whether it's in mint state, but to the demand and value of the coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
