Ok so I have a term I need help knowing what it means.

When a coin is brilliant white coin what does that mean?

I was thinking like no toning or anything on the coin.

Thank you.

I'm pretty sure it means it has all its luster still and is in at least MS65. I may be wrong.

I don't know if it has a specific meaning. IMO, it's just one of those terms that sellers who don't know how to properly describe a coin use. I've seen coins that have obviously been harshly cleaned described in this manner as well as uncirculated silver coins.

"BRIGHT WHITE", "BRILLIANT" and "BLAST WHITE" are some of the terms used to describe a coin that has no toning. I would say that those terms also describe a coin with all of its original luster, however that isn't always the case.

Beware of coins described with these adjectives that have probably been cleaned or dipped.

As already stated just a term used by many to sort of saying a Silver coin is like new, almost new, as good as new, never dirty, pretty and on and on with the many ways to say MS graded.
Goes along with Brilliant Uncirculated, Bright Appearance or anything else that could possibly make you want to buy a coin.
The White part is usually a notation meaning Silver in color. Never could figure out why not just say Brilliant Silver.
