<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dog_pound, post: 3305352, member: 77895&quot;]Please note that I think it is truly awesome that you found the coin.&nbsp; I would love to find one.&nbsp; I only wished to provide you the appropriate information regarding your assessment of the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Mint state</b> is a <b>condition</b> given to <b>coins</b> at a certain level, between 60 and 70, on the Sheldon Grading Scale. <b>Mint state coins</b> have never been in <b>circulation</b></p><p><br /></p><p>You indicated that the coin was circulated therefore your coin regardless of what grade you believe it to be, by very definition it cannot grade Mint State.&nbsp; IMHO your coin is AU 56 at best.&nbsp; This should not detract from the fact that I think it is a wonderful coin and would be happy to own one.</p><p><br /></p><p>However based on your description of the coin and the basic inaccuracies and misunderstanding of MS v AU and circulated coins you are assigning a higher grade than it should rate.&nbsp; But hey, send it to a TPG.&nbsp;&nbsp; I would just to get it authenticated[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
