An NGC MS-62 Coin
NGC (Numismatic Guaranty Company) evaluates and attributes grades to coins and numismatic items using the Sheldon Grading Scale as a parameter.
MS or Mint State designates a coin in the format of a business circulation coin. Grade 62 suggests that the coin may present marks and hairlines in focal areas but with an acceptable overall appearance.
