Coin grading services like PCGS - Professional Coin Grading Service appraise and grade coins using the Sheldon Scale, which ranges from 1 to 70, depending on their condition.

MS means Mint State, referring to coins fabricated with the same shape as a popular business coin that remained uncirculated. 70, the highest grade on the scale, is for a coin with no visible flaws.

According to PCGS, “First Day of Issue” corresponds to a coin purchased from the US Mint on the very first day of its official release and submitted to NGC appraisal.
