Technically they're different but they are frequently used interchangeably as in this case. Up to and including '67 they were PL. '68 and later are BU but it took until around 1980 before ICCS changed. And then they changed to NBU. Charlton calls them MS NC (non-circulating) to add further confusion. And then in 2004 the RCM started putting circulation coins into some sets. 2010 is the year the last BU coins were struck.
