<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tradernick, post: 24015, member: 648&quot;]Funny how many different answers you can get to this question.</p><p>Personally I&#039;ve always believed that unc is unc.&nbsp; i.e., no wear!&nbsp; Technically you can take an unc coin and cut it in half...and it&#039;s still unc...damaged beyond salability, but still unc.&nbsp; </p><p>BU to me has always been BRILLIANT unc.&nbsp; Same as unc, just original bright with luster.&nbsp; BU could be ms60 or 70 or anywhere in between.&nbsp; Same for unc.&nbsp; Choice BU typically means ms63, GEM BU typically means ms65.&nbsp; But remember this is how I interpret them...these same terms mean different things to different people.&nbsp; Many dealers and collectors will look at a slider and say something like &quot;could get a 60 out of this&quot;.&nbsp; Wrongo.&nbsp; Any friction or wear and it&#039;ll never be MS again.&nbsp; We&#039;ve all seen coins that were choice AU but without a small amount of rub/wear would be 65 or higher.&nbsp; Often these coins are more desirable than baggy 62&#039;s, for sure!</p><p>Nick[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
