Berk</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;....A &quot;Mint State&quot; (MS) coin is as it was when it fell from the die. It can be ill-struck or even double-struck, but it must have unbroken luster. Less than unbroken luster should not be called Mint State or uncirculated. Uncirculated is actually a misnomer; it does not mean the coin never circulated, but that it has unbroken luster and no wear other than die wear. Knowing the difference between die wear and real wear is tricky but unbroken luster is the faultless test. &quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
