Sprollie New Member United States 45 Posts	Posted 11/09/2019 4:52 pm I'm new to coins and having difficulty distinguishing BU from just uncirculated. Also not sure about telling the difference between a circulated coin in excellent condition and an uncirculated coin in not so good condition. What would you consider this 1953 D Franklin half? I bought it as BU but not really sure it is. Thank you for any help. Report this Post to the Staff
