<p>[QUOTE=&quot;usmc60, post: 2571852, member: 76739&quot;]GD I&#039;d agree on part of your statement. As was presented in the article but what was also brought up you fine coins that are in circulation now the keyword is in circulation. There is a distinction between in circulation and uncirculated which you know as well as I do that means that coin is not been in the general public circulation. And I&#039;m sure like you and many other members I have found coins that I have gotten from the 711 that look better than the coins that I have in mint sets for that year. And GD with your eloquent speech on the mint&#039;s press as soon as that coin leaves the press were most of the bangs dents and scratches occur going into the been. Now these coins have not even left the mint yet but they show signs of wear. But yet they have not reached the general public yet. The same as some of the mint rolls I bought. I have found coins that are in circulation that look better than the coins that never went into circulation. GD by definition you&#039;re absolutely correct. But I believe the author of the article was trying to do distinguish between a coin that was in circulation and like you said does not show anywhere or signs of damage by definition would be considered uncirculated or even possibly bu uncirculated. But if you go by the actual words themselves. A coin that has been going through the public&#039;s hands cannot be considered uncirculated. By definition of the word because it was in public circulation through the community until it came into your hands.I believe the gentlemen&#039;s point in the article was that when a coin hits the general public. It can no longer officially be And uncirculated coin because it is being put into circulation. Now you if you happen to get a coin that the vendor breaks out of a roll. That coin can be considered uncirculated.I have found coins in circulation. That if I was to put them up for sale I would have to be honest in my advertising by saying I have a circulated MS 60 DDR. Or whatever number it would possibly grade out to be. I would be falsifying this statement by saying it is an uncirculated MS 60 DDR&#039;s which the coin was picked out of circulation.You can go on eBay and find hundreds of these uncirculated coins that were actually pulled out a circulation and classified under your statement. All I know GD I found the article interesting and brought up a lot of interesting points. And since we have a diverse membership I&#039;m curious to see what other people think about it.USMC60 PS GD. The only reason I question your opening statement is because I&#039;ve got mint sets that the mint sells as uncirculated mint set but yet the coins in that mint set do not meet the criteria that you laid out there some of the horribly looking coins. But yet they&#039;re still in the original mint packaging classified as uncirculated mint coin sets. And I&#039;m sure I&#039;m not the only member that has a lot of these uncirculated mint sets and basically don&#039;t pass the grade.I believe this is one of the points the author of the article was trying to point out.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
