AU means the same thing whether a coin is rare or not: it stands for "Almost Uncirculated". That is, the coin has been in circulation but has been subject to no or almost no wear. AU is one step below uncirculated, and is the highest grade for a circulated coin.
A simple example might be a coin that was supplied by a bank in a roll of new coins, then spent only once or twice and shows no damage or wear.
