An NGC MS-69 DPL “Early Releases” Coin

Numismatic Guaranty Company (NGC) works apart from sovereign mints evaluating and grading coins using the Sheldon Grading Scale, which rates coins from 1 to 70 based on their condition.

For NGC, “Early Releases” refer to coins purchased from the original mint within the first 30 days of their official release and taken to its appraisal.

MS stands for Mint State. Mint State coins are shaped as business coins. 69 is the grade attributed to coins whose flaws are almost invisible.

DPL refers to a deep proof-like finish, describing coins whose fields are deeply mirrored and resembling proof coins but are actually bullion coins.
