<p>[QUOTE=&quot;usmc60, post: 2572553, member: 76739&quot;]I don&#039;t know I may be old school. But I honestly cannot say when I find a quarter in circulation. Call it an uncirculated coin. To me that&#039;s like saying oil and water mix which we all know oil does not completely mix with water. But I&#039;ve also found coins and in circulation at least in my observation would qualify as a MS 60 or a MS 65 example like I have done many times I have bought rolls of coins from the mint. I may be wrong but when I look at a roll that I buy from the mint I can honestly say that that is an uncirculated roll of coins and even if I break that role up and sell them individually I feel comfortable saying that they are uncirculated. Because they came from the mint to me and have not passed through general circulation. It&#039;s just like a box that I bought last week from the bank. Since I know what to look for all 50 rolls are all uncirculated Harpers Ferry&#039;s. I found out years ago in South Florida the Federal Reserve we have down here. When new coinage is issued and due to the weight of the bags. They come in the South Florida&#039;s train freight yard in a regular freight container loaded into an armored heavy hauler and transported to the Dade County Federal Reserve. And from there the coinage goes to the rolling facility I know Loomis has one down here. And rolled into rolls and sent to the banks. I have no problem considering them uncirculated. Because the mint set the coins to the Federal Reserve in Dade County then directly to the rollers then to the bank. These coins never hit circulation until the bank gives them out to the businesses and individuals. I&#039;m only familiar with how Loomis rolls these coins so I know what boxes of coins to asked for at my bank. When they give me a regular box of quarters I know they are all circulated by what kind of box they come in. I don&#039;t know maybe it&#039;s just me I just have a problem telling someone that the coin is uncirculated when I knew that I found this coin in a circulated roll of coins. And if I&#039;m not mistaken what a coin is considered judges the price on that coin. And I&#039;m sure if I go back through some of my threads some of the coins I showed would be considered uncirculated by the standards being put forth here on this thread. But in my thread on that particular coin if I found it in circulation I generally say this well circulated. I have not yet displayed a coin that I found in circulation as a uncirculated coin. But I&#039;m just an old Marine.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie24" alt=":blackalien:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
