Raynac New Member Canada 28 Posts	Posted 07/15/2017 9:11 pm Hi I'm fairly new to numismatics and I have inherited some older coins, roughly in the same shape. they are listed as BU-UNC and I am wondering what that translates in today's grading standards. They don't look like they have a value high enough to pay for the cost of sending them off for grading so I humbly turn to you the experts in coin community. 1944 1945 Report this Post to the Staff

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 07/15/2017 9:25 pm to the family! BU is a term used for "Brilliant Uncirculated"...in a grading sense it means nothing other than a shiny uncirculated coin. Yea, those probably won't grade super high but because they're uncirc, MS-60 or better. Report this Post to the Staff

They are fine in 2X2's. Look here and give them your own grade: http://www.coinsandcanada.com/coins-grading.php Report this Post to the Staff

Raynac New Member Canada 28 Posts	Posted 07/21/2017 9:38 pm Since I am still new is there any particular reasons that you don't think it would grade well? Is there wear I'm not noticing? Report this Post to the Staff
Talonbat Valued Member Canada 395 Posts	Posted 07/21/2017 10:13 pm These coins would require essentially MS64 to be worth just the cost of grading. So you would need MS65 or higher to feasibly want to pay for grading. This coin does not look like it could get even close to that but the pictures aren't great for sure.

Is there wear I'm not noticing? The 44 reverse shows a few scratches down the right side and one starts in the "D" and continues through the 44. That scratch could affect the grade. The surfaces don't show up well enough for proper grading here but very probable that their value won't cover the grading costs. Better pics would possibly help us. A macro setting is a plus..if you can. Report this Post to the Staff
Raynac New Member Canada 28 Posts	Posted 08/02/2017 8:33 pm Ok I'm taking some time and making a valient effort to try and get better pictures of these. I spent 3 hours fixing a broken scanner only to discover that it took worst images than my phone. my original ones were highly maginfied so this time around I'm trying to focus more on focus then on zoom, let me know if they are any better Report this Post to the Staff
