    I've seen lots of ref to coins that are BU. My research indicates that BU coins fall in the Mint State Cat but where since I haven't seen any ref to BU-60 - 70 where-as I do see ref to MS-60 -70. I hope someone can help clarify this issue for me. Thanks

    Howdy Pairodocs - Welcome to the Forum !!

    In today's world - BU is kind of a generic term. It does not refer specifically to any particular grade.

    BU or

    Unless you are reading CoinWorld ads and it is Premium Quality Brilliant Uncirculated or Superb BU Fresh From The Mint.
