Message:: [QUOTE="ddddd, post: 2714970, member: 22377"]That is what I mentioned in my reply. If it is at MS 64 or lower, then it doesn't really matter if the grade is correct since the spread between circulated and MS 64 isn't huge (likely max of 30-50 from cull at 15-20 to MS 64 at 55-65). In fact, the slab would likely be worth even more if one had a heavily circulated coin with an MS 64 label. However, when getting to MS 65 and higher, the grade could matter. Less slab collectors are willing to pay the price for novelty when the coin itself might be expensive (and potentially misgraded). In the case of the OP, the label just says "BU," which suggests that it was part of some bulk submission. In this case, the coin is either unc or circulated. The price should not be significantly affected either way (a circulated common date and a low MS common date-assuming it is low MS based on the coins that usually garner a BU label instead of a normal grade-have a fairly small spread, likely in the 20-25 range).[/QUOTE]
