<p>[QUOTE="eddiespin, post: 24724860, member: 4920"]Could it be the "Uncirculated" ones were the ones from the Mint to the bank vaults and the federal reserve bank vaults? One doesn't need to know how to grade coins to know those coins in fact weren't in circulation. The term "circulation" being a term of art in the grading game meaning absence of any wear, is it conceivable some of those coins holdered as "Uncirculated" by the GSA could show wear when graded by a grader, i.e., a TPG? As to the others the GSA just knew those saw circulation or that issue wasn't resolvable so they just slapped just "Silver Dollar" on those, not "Uncirculated Silver Dollar?" We agree they weren't grading. Why anyone would think they were grading, as opposed to just differentiating on what they knew for a fact circulated and didn't is beyond me. They weren't grading. They were differentiating on "circulation" in fact, taking that term literally. Or so I think.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
