A PCGS PR-70 “First Day of Issue” Coin
PCGS (Professional Coin Grading Service) operates independently of sovereign mints. It evaluates and grades coins using the Sheldon Scale, a grading system from 1 to 70.
According to PCGS, a “First Day of Issue” coin is one purchased from its original mint on the first day it is made publicly available and submitted for grading.
“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.
