Not really. While I suppose it is possible for one side of a coin to be uncirculated while the other side is only almost uncirculated, a coin couldn't be both brilliant uncirculated while being almost uncirculated.

Is a bu silver walking liberty worth more than an au silver walking liberty?

Broadly, the answer is "yes." "AU" is short for "Almost Uncirculated" or "About Uncirculated" - it means that the coin in question has some, but very little, signs of wear, generally at the very high points towards the center of the coin. "BU" is short for "Brilliant Uncirculated" - it means that not only does it have no signs of wear, but that it is a particularly nice example of an Uncirculated coin. How much of a difference the two grades would make on price depends on a number of things: the particular coin in question ("Walking Liberty" could refer to at least two different coins that I can think of, and possibly more), the year of mintage, the price of silver, and the more precise grade (AU could be anything from about MS-50 to MS-59, and BU could be anything from about MS-64 to MS-70) of the coin in question.

What is the meaning of AU and BU when looking up the value of a coin?

AU stands for "Almost Uncirculated." It represents numeric grades 50-59, or just below uncirculated. BU stands for "Brilliant Uncirculated." In general this description is discouraged in light of numeric grading, as BU is really in the eyes of the beholder. Some feel that BU should be reserved for MS-65 or better, while others will include all the mint-state grades (60-69) under the term. AU (About Uncirculated) is the grade between XF (Extra Fine) and UNC (Uncirculated). AU graded coins will have just the lightest touch of wear on only the high points of the coin's design. BU (Brilliant Uncirculated) coins, for the most part, are called that to avoid assigning a specific numeric grade -- to let the buyer determine their own grade. In general, you will find these coins to grade in the MS-60 to MS-63 range.

AU means that the coin is about uncirculated. To the untrained eye, the coin appears to be uncirculated but if you look closely you will see wear on the highest parts of the coin. Many times, a high grade AU coin will look better than a lower grade MS (mint state) coin, even though the AU coin has wear while the MS coin does not.
