<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Feigenbaum, post: 2397343, member: 76831&quot;]These are terms that pre-date contemporary slabbing. The old Stacks catalogs used this terminology throughout I was always under the impression that the following adjectives were used as approximations for what we now refer to with numbers:</p><p><br /></p><p>Uncirculated (Unc) = MS60</p><p>Choice Uncirculated (CU) = MS62-63</p><p>Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) = MS64</p><p>Gem Brilliant Uncirculated (Gem BU) = MS65+</p><p><br /></p><p>It was (and still is) quite ambiguous, which wasn&#039;t good for collectors. The numerical identifiers are much better. Also, it&#039;s interesting that most European still use descriptors like those, rather than the numerical system.</p><p><br /></p><p>John[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
