Please let me rebut with his own words.


Quote:
The grading of coins and paper money is very subjective. In our opinion the coin in this listing would appear to be: BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED

I think Unc and BU are used interchangeably today, incorrect thought it might be.

At best it's UNC details, and only worth a couple of bucks on a good day. 0 bids so far.
