An uncirculated coin is bought at the time of it's release, in some sort of protective packaging. If it is out of the packaging, it loses it's status as "uncirculated" and becomes "almost uncirculated" (aUnc), ie. it has been handled. If a coin is in such good condition that you have trouble telling whether or not it has been circulated, get a magnifying glass and examine it very closely. A circulated coin will have very small scratches and nicks on the smooth surfaces. Discolouration or a darkening of the coin does not necessarily mean that it has been circulated.
