An NGC PF-70 First Day of Issue coin
NGC - Numismatic Guaranty Company uses the Sheldon Scale, which ranges from 1 to 70, to appraise and grade coins apart from sovereign mints.
PF stands for Proof Coin, indicating a coin produced for collection purposes, which exhibits mirror-like surfaces in contrast with frosted design elements. 70 is the highest grade and indicates a coin with no visible flaws.
For NGC, a “First Day of Issue” is a coin purchased from the mint on the very first day it was made publicly available.
