Pauldog Valued Member United States 325 Posts	Posted 04/07/2019 05:26 am I don't know, since it looks like there is more than one ding on the obverse. I thought that BU means MS, but without giving it an exact grade number. Would this one be AU, or just below that? Report this Post to the Staff

coinquestionman New Member United States 38 Posts	Posted 04/07/2019 05:45 am Thanks for replying, both Pauldog and John1. This came in a "Roll of Brilliant Uncirculated nickels" so I thought I might upload it and see what everyone thought! I can upload the pics of the rolls if needed. I only have about 30 rolls of these BU nickels. Edited by coinquestionman 04/07/2019 05:46 am Report this Post to the Staff

thisistheshow Pillar of the Community United States 987 Posts	Posted 04/07/2019 8:39 pm Like John1 said, I think of BU as MS-60. In other words, on the low end of uncirculated. You can always be lucky and cherry pick a high MS example. Report this Post to the Staff
