<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kirkuleez, post: 2101627, member: 36864&quot;]Weak strike will limit the grade, but will not preclude a coin from being MS. If it has not circulated, it is uncirculated. Seems like an oversimplified answer, but look at large cents for example.&nbsp; It&#039;s not too unusual to see a coin that has the detail of an XF coin graded uncirculated.</p><p><br /></p><p>On your other point, coins were once graded per side, but the market decided that only one grade was necessary. If you notice, &quot;cabinet wear&quot; is usually more evident on the reverse of classic coins. Coins are graded now on the lesser grade of the two sides for better or worse.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
