hemi1500 Valued Member United States 117 Posts	Posted 01/04/2009 09:57 am What MS grade is approx the same as a BU grade? Report this Post to the Staff

Kabiye_Lady Pillar of the Community United States 581 Posts	Posted 01/04/2009 10:10 am IMHO, BU should be MS-62/63. UNC should be MS-60/61 However, I don't think anything is written in stone on those grades! And even if it is, I doubt if very many people follow it. Report this Post to the Staff

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19935 Posts	Posted 01/04/2009 3:57 pm BU is BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED...the most misused term in numismatics. For me, it implies the coin surfaces are completely original, bright and full of mint luster with NO toning or coloration. Any MS coin from MS60 up can be BU, but it MUST have those characteristics or it's just uncirculated. I see people on ebay using the term BU incorrectly about 90% of the time. There is nothing brilliant about a brown Lincoln or a toned coin. Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff

I have seen the same auctions Thad, it's pretty annoying, especially with those "stock" photos of coins they never took themselves. I skip right over these listings! swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff
