A PCGS PR-70 DC First Day of Issue Coin 

PCGS - Professional Coin Grading Service and similar third-party services appraise and grade coins using the Sheldon Scale as a parameter.

PR stands for Proof Coin, indicating a coin produced for collection purposes. It exhibits mirror-like surfaces in contrast with frosted design elements. The expression “DCAM” or Deep Cameo means this contrast is deeper and more intense than in other proof coins.

Grade 70 is the highest and is attributed to coins with no visible marks.

PCGS considers “First Day of Issue” a coin purchased from the US Mint on the very first day it was made publicly available.
