Uncirculated Coins:
The Royal Australian Mint defines uncirculated coins as coins that have not been distributed or used as currency.
Please note that even though many of our uncirculated coins come from mint rolls or bank bags and may be certified as uncirculated, they may still have minor marks, dents, scratches, or bag marks due to the minting process.
To understand this process better, please watch this video: https://youtu.be/1u3upZG4toE
Mint Sets and Other Mint Products:
Uncirculated coins are mass-produced like circulating coins, but to a higher standard. However, they can still have minor imperfections. Please consider this before purchasing, as refunds, exchanges, or returns will not be accepted for this reason.
