Prices given in this book are for coin grades typically encountered in pocket change. Thus, our uncirculated prices are at the lower end of the spectrum or what specialists refer to as Mint State 60 (MS-60) to MS-62. However, uncirculated grades range from MS-60 to MS-70. Coins found in original bank wrapped rolls or in collections may grade higher and be worth considerably more. If unsure about grades of your coins, consult a specialist.
