But nobody knew, or could tell in any way, just by looking at the bags, whether the coins were circ or unc. The only way to sort&nbsp; the circ from the unc was to look at each individual coin and see if it had wear on it or not.</p><p><br /></p><p>And that&#039;s where the people sorting the coins screwed up - because they couldn&#039;t tell one from the other unless the wear was significant. So some AU coins and XF coins were set aside as Unc, packaged and sold as Unc, when they were not Unc at all.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
