An NGC MS-70 First Strikes Coin

NGC (Numismatic Guaranty Company) uses the Sheldon Grading Scale to evaluate and attribute grades to coins.

NGC considers “First Strikes” coins purchased from their original mint within the first 30 days of their official release and submitted to NGC appraisal.

MS stands for Mint State, indicating a coin crafted in the format of a business circulation coin. Since it has never been in circulation, the coin has no sign of wear, tear, or scratching, which grants it a 70 grade.
