"Brilliant uncirculated" (abbreviated BU) is a coin grading term indicating that the coin has never been spent and retains its original mint luster.
BU is a somewhat vague description and has largely been replaced by MS (Mint State) along with a number ranging from 60 to 70 to provide a more-specific evaluation of the coin's condition.
Coins that are in brilliant uncirculated condition are almost perfect. Take them to a coin collector to have them graded for free.
