A PCGS PR-70 First Day of Issue coin
PCGS - Professional Coin Grading Service works apart from sovereign mints, appraising and grading coins using the Sheldon Scale, which ranges from 1 to 70 depending on their condition.
According to PCGS, a “First Day of Issue” coin is one purchased from its original mint on the very first day it was made publicly available and submitted to PCGS appraisal.
PR 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.
