A PCGS MS-70 coin 

PCGS, or Professional Coin Grading Service, is a renowned third-party grading service that works independently of sovereign mint grading coins using the Sheldon Scale. 

MS or Mint State describes a coin with the same format as an uncirculated business circulation sample. 70 is the grade given to coins with no visible flaws.

PCGS calls “First Strikes” the coins purchased from the US Mint within the first 30 days of the official release and submitted to its appreciation.
