An NGC MS-70 Early Releases coin
NGC, or Numismatic Guaranty Company, is a renowned third-party grading service that appraises and grades 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.
NGC considers “Early Releases” the coins purchased from the US Mint within the first 30 days of the official release and submitted to its appraisal.
