A "circulated" coin is one that has been used. It possibly has dents, scratches and wear marks where it has rubbed against other coins (or worse).

An "uncirculated" coin is one that has never been used, and usually, as far as collectible coins are concerned, has been packaged and sold by the mint as a "mint uncirculated" coin at a price greater than the face value of the coin.

They are packaged to preserve their perfect appearance and finish.
