[QUOTE="cremebrule, post: 1476302, member: 35227"]Argh! The many mis-used terms of Mint State coins. Seriously, "Gem", "Brilliant", and "Choice" Uncirculated are thrown around so much on the web concerning any grade from AU to MS67 I no longer have a strong conviction which describes which. I heard though that Brilliant = 62-63, Choice = 64-65, and Gem = 65+. In the case of my coin, it really doesn't matter. After all, woodies are respected for their "woodiness", right? :) Not their luster (Though, on a side note, my coin actually does exhibit quite a bit of cartwheel luster. The grains just cover it up). Bottom line is you both like the coin :) Who cares if people call it BU or just simply UNC? If I were selling it on eBay I woulc call it Gem BU and watch those bidiots go crazy over it :devil:[/QUOTE]
