<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 2858003, member: 112&quot;]What are you missing ? Those things are not even coins. By the mint&#039;s own determination they are not coins, they are mistakes, screw ups, things that should never have happened. And it must first be a coin before it can be called mint state. The mint would never willing release any of those, they would pull them and throw them in the scrap pile.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>A fair question, but they are still coins. Granted, struck with very worn dies but still acceptable as coins in the eyes of the mint, and thus as they intended them to be. So yes, coins struck on worn dies, even very worn dies, can still be mint state. Even some forms of errors can be mint state, just not all of them. To be considered mint state it must first still qualify as being a legitimate coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
