Message:: [QUOTE="John Burgess, post: 4617865, member: 105098"]Yeah Beardigger is correct. "Uncirculated" just means no signs of wear from circulation, it can be toned or "not bright" let's say. BU or "Brilliant Uncirculated" just means it has no signs of wear from circulation and has all its original mint luster, a shiny, new appearing, coin. Both can fall into the MS60-MS70 people avoid the "brilliant" term usually when it's aged Uncirculated coins, that have discolored somewhat at least on the ends of the rolls and they avoid using the term brilliant since people will say "these's aren't shiny, rip off!" lol Back to the subject at hand. they can be uncirculated in a NF String wrapper. The coins should not show any signs of circulation wear if they are truly uncirculated. Same goes for non branded wrappers. They also can be uncircualted. The rolled coins from the mint aren't much better condition than the rolled coins from the bank in my experience. There's still the production and the transportation for them to be packaged, so there's still going to be contact mark's maybe a little less beat up? I dunno. I don't see much difference but if you pay the mint for a roll of uncircualted coins of a specific design, there's no question it will be that. With the bank rolls there can he "surprises" regardless of the wrappers occasionally.[/QUOTE]
