In Response To: Re: What does "MINT" mean? ()

Ape,

To me mint could not possibly indicate a refurbished watch. Can a coin which has been cleaned...even if it was mint before it was cleaned be mint...ABSOLUTELY NOT!

Good and Very Good leave some room for discussion. Mint, in my opinion does not leave any...or at least not very much at all.

BTW, I don't ever pay any attention to the terms NOS or Mint in eBay or other marketing descriptions. These terms may make a smile cross my face but they have been rendered practically useless these days.
