<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lincoln64, post: 52316, member: 1232&quot;]<b>Uncirculated downgrade to Circulated</b></p><p><br /></p><p>I was browsing through eBay this morning and found a coin that I liked. The seller included the following statement in his description:</p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: Blue">&quot;AS YOU CAN SEE THERE IS A CONTACT MARK ON THE OBVERSE. WITHOUT THIS. THIS WOULD DEFINITLY GRADE UNCIRCULATED. WHICH IS WHAT IS WAS GRADED WHEN I RECEIVED IT&quot;</span></p><p><br /></p><p>The coin is listed on the auction page as Almost Uncirculated / Uncirculated</p><p><br /></p><p>Being a stone cold rookie to this hobby I am a little confused. After looking at some&nbsp; grading descriptions it seems to me that even uncirculated coins can have marks on them (bag marks etc. I figured coins fall into two distinct categories Circulated and Uncirculated. Can an uncirculated coin be downgraded to circulated?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
