A PCGS MS-63 Coin

PCGS (Professional Coin Grading Service) is internationally recognized for appraising and grading coins using the Sheldon Grading Scale as a parameter. It works independently of sovereign mints, certifying coins from 1 to 70, based on their condition.

MS stands for Mint State, indicating a coin produced in a business circulation sample format. Grade 63 indicates that the coin may exhibit marks and minor visible hairlines, but still retains an attractive overall appearance.
