<p>[QUOTE=&quot;skane, post: 31604, member: 1927&quot;]This is all to my point.&nbsp; I think that the consensus is that a coin that has been in circulation can be graded as one of the MS grades.&nbsp; If it was sent to a grading company, they will review it for wear and could potentially grade it in of the MS designations.&nbsp; My original question really was me trying to get a sense of direction on what I have found in circulation.&nbsp; I wanted to know if by virtue of the fact that it was in circulation automatically disqualified it from being graded as MS.&nbsp; I&#039;m finding that the answer is that it does not automatically disqualify it, so if it was sent to a grading company they could grade it in one of the MS desginations.&nbsp; </p><p>The bottom line from all of your wonderful responses and thought provoking dialogue is that the nature of this hobby or business (depending on whom you are dealing with) is somewhat subjective with some basic guidelines, but no absolutes and the market for a certain coin in whatever condition is dictated by the those interested in certain type of coins in certain grades and ultimately the individual buyer and seller in any exchange really use their own thoughts at the time of the exchange as to the value of a coin.&nbsp; Grading information is only a guide.......no absolutes from what I can read.&nbsp; Thanks for all of your input.&nbsp; I guess I feel better that I could submit a circulated coin for slabbing and feel reasonably comfortable based on what I feel the coin could be in the range of it might actually be graded within that range.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
