Newbie Question - Coins bought from the U.S. Mint
0

3 posts in this topic

I recently bought and received from the U.S. Mint a set of 2020 P and D rolls of Marsh-Billings-Rockerfeller National Historical Park (VT) quarters.

My two questions are:

1. Are these quarters considered uncirculated?

2. Can they receive a Mint State 61 through 70 designation depending on the condition of the coin?

Yea. They are definately uncirculated coming straight from the mint. It is very unlikely any would get a grade as low as MS61 or lower. They should all be fairly high grade. Mostly MS65. Some higher.  Some could be lower. Depending on how many marks they recieve beating aginst each other at the mint.

 1.  Yes.

 2. Yes, but because they are circulation quality and did not receive any special handling, it's unlikely that any would grade higher than MS 65 or 66, and many probably wouldn't grade higher than MS 64.  Coins made and distributed without special handling and separate packaging like modern proofs and commemoratives inevitably have blemishes and probably don't exist in MS 70. (Check the NGC Census and the PCGS Population Report in this regard.) You'd have to carefully examine each coin in the rolls under magnification to determine if any would likely grade high enough to be worth having third-party graded.
