<p>[QUOTE=&quot;statequarterguy, post: 931413, member: 21782&quot;]Yep, the mint has started using a different definition of uncirculated than numismatists use.&nbsp; Uncirculated to the mint means the satin finish coins in the uncirculated sets.&nbsp; Leave it to the government to confuse things more than they have to, I guess in a marketing attempt to make the public believe they have to get uncirculated coins from them at a premium.&nbsp; What the mint is attempting to do has caused confusion in the industry by redefining the definitions already defined by the industry.&nbsp; Now we&#039;ll have uncirculated, uncirculated coins and uncirculated business strikes, rather than what the industry has defined as SMS or SP coins (satins) and uncirculated business strikes.&nbsp; Of course, from 2005 to 2009, the mint also defined coins as the industry did - but, they changed all that in 2010.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
