<p>[QUOTE=&quot;V. Kurt Bellman, post: 2498973, member: 71723&quot;]This is an item in my talk entitled, &quot;Dumb Stuff (I only sometimes use &quot;Stuff&quot;) Coin Collectors Say&quot;. The word &quot;Uncirculated&quot; needs to be banished from our language and replaced with &quot;Mint State&quot;, which also does not mean &quot;Pennsylvania, Colorado, New York or California&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Uncirculated&quot; has <b><i>never</i></b> been a statement of a coin&#039;s whereabouts and/or history, and has <b><i>always</i></b> been a condition per se, but new people coming into the field apparently have an obligation to repeat previous generations&#039; misapplications of terminology. Why read a book when you can just assume stuff, right?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
