Uncirculated coins, on the other hand, will have sharp, well-defined edges that show no signs of wear. This can be a reliable indicator of their uncirculated state.

One way to tell is by examining the coin's surface. Circulated coins often show signs of wear and tear, such as scratches and marks from being handled frequently.
