According to Bertrand definition, an uncirculated coin is one in mint condition, put aside at the time of issue. With this definition in mind I am puzzling over the question: why would there be fewer uncirculated 1936 florins, compared to 1933, 1934, 1935 or 1937? If some people back then were inclined to put aside an uncirculated florin, why would the propensity to do so be so much less for 1936? Could it be that a "genuinely" uncirculated 1936 florin is not significantly more rare than a "genuinely" uncirculated florin from any of those other years, but because so many lightly circulated coins are now also called uncirculated (and actually swamping the genuinely uncirculated in terms of numbers) the rarity of an uncirculated coin is determined by the number of lightly circulated that are called uncirculated, of which there are more in years 1933, 1933, 1935, 1937 compared to 1936?
