Hi Indian
under the senario which you have detailed , I agree with you , but there are many other senarios which can account for the coin remaining Unc .
Here is just one which I have used before and still do on occasion .
Im at the store , the checker is out of a particular coin in the drawer and needs one or two to make my change , she/He busts open a fresh roll from the bank and I see its a new roll and all the coins are BU and she /He dumps them into the bin , she/He then hands me the coin or two to make my change , depending on what it is ,I might ask for more of them , just take what is given to me , or even ask for another roll if one is available .for the purposes of this post lets say I just take what is given to me , they are bright Unc coins from a fresh vender roll, I put them in my pocket and walk to my vehicle , open my wallet and pull out the plastic coin flips I keep in it and place the coins in the flip, put them back in my wallet and I'm off to work, there have been times when I have forgotten about the coins for a week and carried them in my wallet for the whole time .
the coins remain Unc even after being there for a week .
so sometimes when I see the coins on here in photo's and I can see no decernable evidence of wear I still have to call them Unc and if possible apply a numerical grade .
because while its possible they do have some sign of wear when viewed in hand I can't see it in the photo.
Thee is no way to know all of the details of the handling of the coin prior to the poster displaying it here and there is no way for the poster to know for sure unless it is a similar senario to what I posted what has occured to the coin before it coming into their possession .
so while I agree that a senario such as yours if it can be traced will not produce an Unc coin knowing that exact senario happened without a doubt is pretty tough .
