Frequently asked questions
Does BU mean a guaranteed MS70 coin?
No. Brilliant Uncirculated is a condition description, not a promise of MS70 certification. Surface marks and other differences can exist among uncirculated examples.
What should I record after buying this item?
Keep the invoice with the product name, quantity and any visible certification or serial number. These details help distinguish this offer from other dates, grades or packaging variants.
Does the asking price guarantee a later resale value?
No. A future offer can reflect the metal market, product demand, condition and selling costs. Compare current buy and sell quotations for the same product when evaluating the spread.
