[QUOTE="walterallen, post: 339762, member: 4068"]Hey TRT2! All this terminalogy can be confusing at first. This might clear some of it up. BU stands for Brilliant Uncirculated and it is a condition not a grade. Gem Brilliant Uncirculated is also not a grade but a condition, along with "Choice" and Choice Gem". Get the Red Book to learn about the different grades and what they mean with respect to the different coin types. The Red Book is just a giude and there are better specific books to learn more in depth info on grading. Take your time and "learn" about what you are reading. If you learn this stuff you can call upon it down the road at will. It takes many, many years and 10000x as many coins to become an expert or at least proficient at grading. Good Luck and Keep on Collecting!!![/QUOTE]
