An MS 70 grade is the highest possible rating on the Sheldon Scale, indicating a Mint State coin that is perfectly preserved. These coins show no visible imperfections, marks, or wear under magnification and retain their original luster and sharp detail as struck by the mint.
MS 70 coins are graded and certified by professional third-party services such as PCGS (Professional Coin Grading Service), NGC (Numismatic Guaranty Company), and ANACS (American Numismatic Association Certification Service). These organizations authenticate, grade, and encapsulate coins to preserve their condition.
MS 70 coins are Mint State coins, meaning they are uncirculated and intended for collectors, but not struck with the special techniques used for proofs. Proof coins, on the other hand, are struck with specially prepared dies and planchets to create a mirrored finish and receive a separate PF (Proof) grade, with PF 70 being the highest for proofs.
Collectors value MS 70 coins for their flawless condition, certified authenticity, and the fact that they represent the finest examples of a particular coin issue. Their perfect preservation and encapsulation make them appealing for building high-quality collections and for gifting on special occasions.
'First Strike' or 'Early Release' designations indicate that a coin was received by the grading service within a specific timeframe after its initial release from the mint. These designations can add to a coin’s desirability among collectors, as they highlight its status as one of the earliest examples struck for a particular issue.
