<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BadThad, post: 1367625, member: 17261&quot;]In the case of this seller, if &quot;Gem BU&quot; is advertised, I would expect every single coin to be at least MS-65 or higher.</p><p><br /></p><p>Grossly and poorly used numismatic terms:</p><p><br /></p><p>Select</p><p>Choice</p><p>Gem</p><p>BU</p><p><br /></p><p>One of my pet peeves is when a Lincoln seller decribes a coin as BU. Then you look and it&#039;s BROWN. Sorry pal, that coin is NOT &quot;brilliant&quot;....the correct term is &quot;MS BROWN&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>As a collector, I really, really hate those terms because they are so often used incorrectly and just to confuse people. If you&#039;re not good enough to assign an actual numeric grade, you should NOT be selling coins. If you&#039;re not sure, just say MS-63/64.....for God&#039;s sake, you should be able to get a grade within a couple of points.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
