An NGC MS-70 coin
NGC, or Numismatic Guaranty Company, works independently from sovereign mints appraising and grading coins using the Sheldon Scale, which ranges from 1 to 70.
The term MS or Mint State describes a coin with the same format as a business circulation one that remained uncirculated. 70 is the grade given to coins with no visible flaws.
