<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John77, post: 2506126, member: 79277&quot;]&quot;Brilliant Uncirculated&quot; is a state of preservation, and <i>not </i>a coin&#039;s &quot;status.&quot; This is probably the most common misperception among new collectors.</p><p><br /></p><p>For example, you&#039;ll get BU coins from the current year in change on most days. A lot of these coins come straight from brand new rolls that your grocer or other merchant has received from their bank via their armored carrier via the mints. If your checker just threw a brand new roll of these coins in their drawer, and you got one, then that coin is in BU condition. Handling the coin is what will lower the grade and cause wear.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
