About Uncirculated.

Depends on the context, and this can apply in numismatics, Au is the periodic symbol for gold (#79).

 

True, but AU is About Uncirculated.

 

You and your technicalities

 

Nothing less.

 

both

 

However, the periodic symbol for gold is uppercase A and lowercase u.

The acronym for about uncirculated is uppercase A and U.

 

Which is why I wrote it "Au" not "AU" although you cannot be certain that we will always find it employed correctly in common usage if someone types or writes in all caps or casually only in lower case, as many are becoming accustomed to doing online or when txting, emailing and such.

 

Almost Uncirculated

 

Redbook lists AU as About Uncirculated. Page 9.

 

OK and I say Almost Uncirculated. Here in Michigan we drink Pop, Down south folks Drink soda

 

On ebay it means Absolutely Uncirculated.

 

I guess I was from the middle. We drank "soda pop". Anywho, here is PCGS's definition. That should be the end all to this discussion.

The others are all similarly laid out.

 

:u*meY:

 

I beg to differ with you. On eBay it means Almost Usually.

Actually, down south we drink Coke. Whether it be Pepsi, Coca-Cola, RC, Dr. Pepper Co., etc. etc. etc.
Oh, and its About Uncirculated

 

Down south, rednecks drink pop or beer because they don't know any two-syllable words.

Actually, we drinks cokes in the "deep south" (since this is a thread about technicalities).
