Yes, the Glossary is dated and contradictory to TPG’s in part? That ‘special packaging’ doesn’t guarantee a nice Gem coin(s). Fed Roll searching can net those great coins, and patience is key. Many collectors go that route for the fun, and Top Pops.
I recall that DaveSWFL was disappointed with his 2024 UNC Mint Set/Nickels?
E1 buys several different UNC examples from various sellers & regions, and cherry-picks for his Albums. Smart.

Almost like the old warhorse on the 1995 Civil War Battlefield gold commemorative.

Just what I thot….You a Gangster too braah.

Cheers Bud

Mahalo Bud!

Happy B-Day, and Happy Retirement E1!
I’m glad you swooped on down to visit us Turkeys!
Your Subset Chart, I like your angle with the Proofs in there. Every time I see a UCAM/DCAM 1/2 Dollar the more I like them. More coin talk soon!

Yeah I think I remember the “uncirculated” discussion before. I wonder if the glossary is really binding and the U.S. Mint follows what the say in the glossary (i.e. coining force and early strikes). I think the conclusion was it if it was true, it is not easy to distinguish and the TPGs I don’t think recognize it.
I was seeking the opposite thing last year. I couldn’t find the “rare” circulating 2024-D nickel (still in the millions), so I got a 2024 Mint Set on the basis the included D nickel that it was indistinguishable from the circulating D nickel other than it has less wear.
I can confirm that the uncirculated coins from the USM are specially packaged, unless you remove them from that packaging. 🙂

Thanks Rich,

About once a year this UNC, MS, SP debate crops back up, and gets parsed & pulverized to death. However someone, somewhere learns something new each time.
I’ve got to hand it to that Horse though, he’s been beat to death so many times, and he just gets’ back up every time, amazing!
