<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 620, member: 112&quot;]laz - not sure where the communications broke down here - bu they must have.</p><p><br /></p><p>This whole discussion started because you said BU was a grade and I said it was a generic term. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now I maybe I misunderstood you - or you misunderstood me - I don&#039;t know. </p><p><br /></p><p>But BU in and of itself is not a grade. Yes - a coin graded MS60 thru MS70 can be called BU. But it is the MS number that is the grade - not the BU. It can apply to any or all of the 11 MS grades. And as such - that makes it generic.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now maybe you find that too fine a point to put on it - but I don&#039;t. So if you wish to consider BU as a grade - be my guest. But you&#039;ll be the only person I know of who does. MS63 - EF45 - G8 - those are grades. And each and every one is listed in any of the grading books as a grade - BU is not. It is listed however as a generic descriptive term that can be applied to any of the MS grades.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
