用法筆記
The adjective 'minted' is used attributively before nouns describing collectibles. It is less common than using 'mint' alone (e.g., 'a mint stamp') or the phrase 'in mint condition', but it is the correct past-participle form when a verb-like quality (having been minted as a coin or stamp) is meant literally.
