uncirculated
Fresh from mint
Uncirculated describes coins or currency that have never been released into general circulation and therefore show no wear from handling.
Coin collectors prize uncirculated specimens for their pristine condition: an uncirculated 1921 silver dollar.
The term also applies to anything not yet distributed or passed around: uncirculated memos, uncirculated drafts.
