<p>[QUOTE="vipergts2, post: 421897, member: 3881"]The term "uncirculated" is a bit of a tricky/missused word in my eyes. A coin can technicaly be circulated by going through a couple of retail transactions and show absolutely no sign of wear thus grading ms60+ and a coin plucked straight from a new roll can be slightly misshandled by whatever reason and show wear thus AU graded. Now which coin is "uncirculated"?</p><p><br /></p><p>All this is a great reason to learn about grading and to participate on this forum. I jus wish coins would look like they do in hand in photographs. it would make learning much easier. Even photograde stops at AU coins, I would imagine for that reason.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
