ABOUT BU COINS:

BU is an acronym for Brilliant Uncirculated. BU coins are a step up from bullion coins, offering more detail. What’s considered Brilliant, Uncirculated, and what’s considered bullion-grade varies from mint to mint. 

For example, here’s what the U.S. mint states about the difference:

At the United States Mint, the term uncirculated refers to the special coining process used to make the coin, which gives it a brilliant finish. Uncirculated coins are manufactured using the same process as circulating coins, but with quality enhancements such as slightly higher coining force, early strikes from dies, special cleaning after stamping, and special packaging. 

Uncirculated coins may vary to some degree because of blemishes, toning, or slight imperfections, including milk spots and/or slight mint production scratching. As such, the coin you receive may have one or some of these characteristics. Any mint imperfection on coins do not negate the actual silver value.
