<p>[QUOTE="NOS, post: 2371672, member: 2098"]Whether a coin can be considered "uncirculated" really comes down to semantics. I recall how in 2005 I found a 1989D dime in a roll from the bank in literally "Mint BU" condition. It had, and still has, a nice sharp, bright and shiny orange/red edge (which wears fast for clad), and no trace of wear at all. Clearly, the coin had been in "circulation" for a very short time before I found it. So, is it still "uncirculated" considering I found it in circulation? It is to me but to a purist, perhaps not.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
