MINT condition?
What does your understanding of MINT condition mean ?
I personally would take someone describing an item in MINT condition to mean “like new” or “as good as new” “immaculate”.
i.e, no scratches, marks, dents, etc “like new”.
Do you agree ? or disagree ?
Just curious.
Thanks.
Mint state or mint condition is a grade for a coin. The coin can have scratches and what is referred to as bag marks. That is why there are mint state grades from MS-60 to MS-70. A mint state coin has no wear. An error coin can have no wear but be struck way off center and be missing have it’s image. It is not a matter if I agree or not, it is how it is in the coin, medal or token collecting community. Rules had to be made on these items as to wear and it was also found some mint state items those with no wear were better than others. A coin with no wear is in mint condition but the planchet could have scratches from the minting process as well as bag marks from the bags the coins used to be shipped in. Now they ship in huge plastic boxes. The machines used to put the coins in rolls also can damage the coin but the coin still has not circulated so in still uncirculated so is mint state. To be a coin collector one must learn the rules so to speak. It is the same with stamps as well as other collectibles. What to do go as a coin collector, read up one the coins you collect, know more than the dealer about that series and don’t let him know you do. Then you can get rare varieties at a coomon one price. Learn to grade coin and get ones undergraded for a low price. It all boils down to how much you work on your hobby. There are a lot of coin collectors who fill holes in albums, a lot of investors who throw away their money for they don’t know what they are doing and very few numismatist who study what they collect and in the long run make the most money from their coins and have the most fun.
