Regardless of where the coin came from the grade is what makes the coin. Even if pulled from circulation. Just a learning question is all. Report this Post to the Staff

It may go into circulation, it may not; but it was made using one minting procedure, proofs use another. Modern mint set coins are made on different presses with fresher dies and are handled more carefully than what is specifically minted to circulate, but they are all still business strikes.

My question, which I raised a number of years ago at a coin club meeting, was whether you can always tell marks made during the minting process, bagmarks, etc, from marks due to circulation? I wasn't convinced that you could. What do others think? Report this Post to the Staff

I wasn't convinced that you could. What do others think? I do not see how you could possibly tell if a mark is a bag mark or a pocket change mark. ...and because I like this conversation and want to offer some eye food, below are two coins that I know for a fact were never in circulation, were put into flips at the same time, and were stored together in the same conditions more or less side by side for about 48 years. Technically uncirculated, conditionally maybe not so much. (From Mint "Penny Bag" purchase in 1973). Since one is from Philadelphia and one from Denver, at least one did some travelling before being put in the bag for sale. Report this Post to the Staff
oriole Pillar of the Community Canada 5246 Posts	Posted 03/04/2021 07:09 am I have been told by a dealer, and this discussion seems to confirm it, that uncirculated is better described as a condition, not the process by which it entered a collector's hands. Whether it came directly from the mint or passed through a few hands before it end up in a till and then to a collector is not relevant, it is the state of the coin that is relevant/ Report this Post to the Staff
