<p>[QUOTE=&quot;laz, post: 610, member: 53&quot;]Ah but Brilliant Uncirculated <u>is indeed</u> a grade.My statement was that a weakly struck coin could grade BU. Uncirculated is even broken down into smaller grades (ie:MS60,MS61,ect) this isn&#039;t grading? :roll: You better break the news to PCGS :lol:&nbsp; a few services,I&#039;d agree. No,<b>seriously</b>,of course BU is a grade,as much as VF or XF. Within each there&#039;s room for movement.XF goes from XF40 - XF49 technically,though circulated grades seldom get broken down numerically,I do see choice XF 45 quite often.,anf Ch.VF35 so I guess VF and XF are &quot;generic&quot; too :?:&nbsp; I can&#039;t agree there,at the average uncirculated level it reverses like algebra and negative numbers.Grading goes from 01 basil state to MS70 which in theory is the perfect coin. Technically grading is the state of preservation overall. As to the other commends,contact marks are not really wear,and cabinet rub reduces a coins grade to AU. ~ Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
