<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 2066290, member: 66"]The mint uses terms differently than we do. If a coin is a proof, we call it a proof, the mint calls it a proof. If a coin is a piece of business strike quality but made for a collector set we call it Uncirculated or MS, the Mint calls it Uncirculated. If it is a business strike quality coin but made for general circulation we call it uncirculated or MS, the mint calls it circulated. So a business stike made for circulation even with no wear on it at all the mint calls circulated.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
