<p>[QUOTE="raider34, post: 676037, member: 16402"]That seems to be the problem with using those terms, they can mean pretty much whatever the seller wants them to mean. I don't usually use Select BU because IMO is not a commonly used term. BU, Choice BU, and GEM seem to be the most popular. But I have seen select BU be used to describe low grade (MS62) coins, and also higher grade (MS64) coins. Generally though Choice BU covers MS63 and 64. </p><p><br /></p><p>Here are a few examples: <a href="http://www.coastcoin.com/items.asp?Cc=LIBERTY%2DNICK&iTpStatus=1&Tp=" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coastcoin.com/items.asp?Cc=LIBERTY%2DNICK&iTpStatus=1&Tp=" rel="nofollow">Rare Date Liberty Nickels from Coast To Coast Coins</a> Here select BU is lower then choice.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.collectorsinternet.com/goldbu.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.collectorsinternet.com/goldbu.html" rel="nofollow">WHOLESALE Gold Coins - B.U.
