What is BU in reference to silver coins?

"BU" is a level of coin grading. It means "Brilliant Uncirculated" meaning that the coin has not been circulated and still has the bright and clean appearance it had when it left the mint. Another term meaning the same thing is "Gem Uncirculated". Any coin described as BU or Gem will attract a high price for that particular type of coin.


What is the value of a gem bu 1742 mf Mexico 8 reales pillar dollar?

The value of coins vary greatly with condition. Within mint state (new) coins the condition and value also varies greatly. If the coin mentioned were in fact truly a gem bu. Gem bu being defined as ms (mint state) 65 or better it would be quite valuable. Probably in the $ 10,000 range. If it were choice bu (ms 63) it would be closer to $ 2,500 and if it were just bu (ms 60) it would be valued at about $ 800. Circulated examples vf sell for about $ 200 and xf for $300. Since the value increases so dramatically between ms60 and ms65. It would be just about impossible to sell the coin as a gem bu without it being certified as to grade by one of the major coin certification services. Hope this helps.
