The mint would then count and verify the coins as being of that denomination and genuine, and then put the coins in their own sealed bags and put the bags in the mint vault.</p><p><br /></p><p>What this means is you could get a sealed bag of coins from the mint and the bag would contain a mixture of circulated coins and uncirculated coins. There was <b>never</b> any guarantee that all the coins in a sealed mint bag would uncirculated. Even still today you can buy sealed mint bags of coins that contain both circulated and uncirculated coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
