Message:: [QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1071797, member: 112"]Unfortunately it is not a question of whether or not the coin is beautiful or not. It is the term itself and how it has come to be used by those who choose to use it. There was a time when the term actually meant something, but those days are long gone. This is the point I was trying to get across in my previous post. In today's world it seems that the only ones who use the term BU when trying to describe one of their coins is using it in an effort to deceive those who would consider buying that coin. It's kind of like the use of the word rare. There once was a time when to call a coin rare meant something. But today the term is typically used only as a marketing gimmick, again trying to get potential buyers to believe something that is simply put, not true. Therefore, when you see someone advertising or describing a coin as BU - 9 out of 10 times you are not going to want that coin ![/QUOTE]
