"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.
