It's a struck coin which was intended for circulation in the strict sense.

More loosely, it means a non-proof coin.

A business strike is a coin made for daily use, versus one made for collectors.

A coin struck for circulation.

A business strike is any coin that receives the MS designation if it has no wear--as said before, basically, it's not a proof coin.

It is very obvious to me now.

Happy Collecting

Hi Smiles

Lots of lingo to learn with coins. Here's a link to the PCGS Lingo Guide

Interesting trivia the mint refers to their products as Proofs for proof coins, Uncirculated for coins struck for mint sets, and coins intended for commerce are called "circulated". You would think they would call them circulation coins but no they call them circulated.
