An uncirculated coin has no wear, period. An MS-60 has no wear so it is uncirculated by technical definition only, but it has crap eye appeal from being at the bottom of the mint bag. An AU-58 has just a touch of wear and was protected for the rest of its life, so it is naturally going to have better eye appeal than an MS-60. This has been a well-known fact for decades, and AU-58 coins sometimes sell for more than their MS-60 counterparts (until the registry sets started awarding more points for a 60 than a 58).</p><p><br /></p><p>As soon as you change fundamental definitions like “uncirculated”, you open the door for additional fundamentals to be altered.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
