<p>[QUOTE=&quot;EvilKidsMeal, post: 1097113, member: 28937&quot;]Ahhh thank you. Those are the more simple answers I was looking for. I figured that it would be possible and maybe even pretty common to find coins in circulation that are in incredible shape and grade close to or in the MS range. It&#039;s the the UNCIRCULATED label that tripped me up. I figured it was only based on the coins characteristics, because that just makes sense. But replies like (paraphrasing) &quot;a coin found in circulation should not be labeled Mint State&quot;. That&#039;s why I kept asking basically, Why? If a true uncirculated coin looks the same as a nice circulated coin why wouldn&#039;t they grade the same? That was most of my confusion.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>And thank you I just ordered a copy of the ANA Guide along with some other supplies from jpscorner.com. BTW what is Heritage? Was I in the right place when I found Heritage Auction Galleries? </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Thank you for the more sensible explanation. :thumb:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
