FAQS
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the three types of quality I can find?
UNC: Circulating quality coin that has never been used.
BE: Proof grade, the highest quality for a coin with a lower mintage (coin sold in its original presentation case with certificate of authenticity, unless otherwise indicated).
BU: Brilliant Uncirculated, coins that are brighter than those intended for circulation (sold in a card holder, unless otherwise indicated).
What is the difference between a circulated coin and an uncirculated coin?
A circulated coin means it has already been used for purchases (bakery, grocery store, etc.) and has no collector value, only its face value. An uncirculated coin means it is new and has not been used for any purchases.
