<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Numismat, post: 2233899, member: 15019&quot;]Seems the problem here is how the words &quot;uncirculated&quot; and &quot;mint state&quot; are used in relation to one another. If you want to be purely literal, yes &quot;uncirculated&quot; means a coin that was not used in circulation.</p><p>However, you still find coins that were used in circulation which are &quot;mint state&quot; and do not have any wear aside from nicks and bag marks and such. Much in the same way as an &quot;uncircualted&quot; coin from a mint bag may be lower than &quot;mint state&quot; due to wear from being in contact with other coins during the packaging process.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
