<p>[QUOTE="Troodon, post: 394554, member: 4626"]Not sure if one term is more or less correct than the other, but in regards to banknotes it seems that CU is used to mean "crisp uncirculated" more often than "choice." Whether that makes it more correct is opinion I suppose but "crisp" is by far the more commonly used term, when you're talking about paper money. Grading standards very but usually "crisp" means at least 65 or better, though some will not call it crisp if there's any bends in the paper whatsoever.</p><p><br /></p><p>I usually don't bother researching grading standards as they're very subjective and I don't buy anything certified anyway (unless I'm reasonably worried about authenticity, but as I mostly collect world notes few bother to fake anyway, usually not worried about it). I grade my own notes based on my own standards just as a note to myself which notes are better than other ones.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
