<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 81363, member: 112&quot;]I stand corrected. Nonetheless - it&#039;s still not true. Based on that definition 99.99% of all coins would be defined as circulated or not Mint State. Including those found in the hopper at the mint as they come off the coin presses. </p><p><br /></p><p>A break in luster is just that - a break in the luster. What&#039;s a bag mark if not a break in the luster ? What are the marks on Liberty&#039;s cheek on Morgan dollars if not a break in the luster ? The same is true of any coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Mr. Berk has made a very poor choice in his wording in his effort to describe a coin that is found in circulation that may still be classified as uncirculated.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Just as an example, here is a coin from Mr. Berk&#039;s site that he is offering for sale that he has graded as MS64. <a href="http://www.harlanjberk.com/unitedstatesco/details.asp?inventorynumber=26462&amp;title=Morgan+Dollar&amp;inventorygroup=us&amp;linenum=71" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.harlanjberk.com/unitedstatesco/details.asp?inventorynumber=26462&amp;title=Morgan+Dollar&amp;inventorygroup=us&amp;linenum=71" rel="nofollow">CLICK HERE</a> Take a look at the pic and click on the Larger Images - would you say that coin has no breaks in luster ?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
