<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Amanda Varner, post: 1864223, member: 59002&quot;]Well I agree that a coin only needs to &quot;have <i>the appearance</i> of no wear&quot; in order to be uncirculated, I wasn&#039;t trying to imply that any and all coins that are uncirculated have never been touched; I was only attempted to put down a quick-and-dirty little summary for the OP. </p><p><br /></p><p>I suppose I should be more specific!</p><p>Wear: The abrasion of metal from a coin&#039;s surface caused by normal handling and circulation.</p><p>Uncirculated: Term to indicate a coin that has never been in circulation, a coin without wear. </p><p><br /></p><p>And that&#039;s where we come back to the OP, whose coins may have lots of bag/contact marks, but are still uncirculated as they have no wear.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
