Beefer518 Pillar of the Community United States 887 Posts	Posted 07/16/2017 8:50 pm I just saw an 1890 Morgan that was graded as "Brilliant Uncirculated" without a numerical designation. It did not say "Details" or other similar comments on the slab. What exactly does that mean? Slab number 1537944-307 - here's a link to the cert lookup: https://www.NGCcoin.com/certlookup/...4-307/Other/ Just curious, as I thought all straight grades were assigned a numerical value.

I'm not sure but I think it may be cheaper to give them a BU grade instead of a numerical grade. The only other time Ive seen a not modern coin graded BU is if it was a special coin credited to something. Like part of a big collection, 9/11 recovery. They even have slabs grading walking liberties as BU because they were a part of the old mans silver collection from pawn stars. Report this Post to the Staff

kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 07/31/2017 08:29 am BU is a grade range. As I understand it a BU coin can be anywhere from MS-61 to MS-63 or -64. Not worth it unless you can accurately grade it AND the price matches your grade. Report this Post to the Staff
