Like it is almost unused  I actually thought the reference came from the coin collecting hobby, comparing the item to the condition of a coin that has just left the mint and has not (yet) been circulated... I just got my sh*t together and now I can't pick it up...

SuzyView Cream of the Crop  More info | Dec 24, 2005 14:51 | #11 Is there a difference between MINT and LIKE NEW? I understand the NEW, never opened, sealed, and all that. But what is the it with MINT? I figure, MINT is used a lot, but not dead, and good is used a lot and on it's way to the dump. Suzie - Still Speaking Canonese!
