A PCGS MS-70 First Strikes coin

PCGS (Professional Coin Grading Service) appraises and grades coins based on their condition, using the Sheldon Scale, which ranges from 1 to 70, independently from sovereign mints.

According to PCGS, “First Strikes” refers to coins purchased from the US Mint within the first 30 days of their official release and submitted to PCGS appraisal.

MS or Mint State refers to a piece with the same format as a widespread circulation coin that remained uncirculated. Grade 70 is attributed to flawless coins.
