[QUOTE="johnmilton, post: 4586018, member: 101855"]"BU" is a very old terminology. It says that the coin is Uncirculated or Mint State, but it does not say anything about how nice of a Mint State coin it is. It could have bright luster, but be badly marked, or, far less often, it could be a close to flawless coin. “BU” was used extensively 50 to 60 years ago in advertising. It really does not mean very much today.[/QUOTE]
