Whether you’re curating a coin collection or looking for investment grade coins, you’ll probably come across the label MS70 at some point during your research. This designation is usually featured on the plastic casings of graded coins which are designed to protect valuable coinage from dust, dirt, and other debris. Exposure to the elements, even indoors, can compromise the condition and the value of coins over time. Understanding specific coin gradings makes it easier to invest judiciously and successfully.
What does MS70 mean in coins?
MS70 is the highest rating of a coin’s condition according to the American Numismatic Association grading scale. It stands for Mint State 70 and represents a perfectly minted coin. More specifically, a MS70 coin doesn’t show any signs of scratches, wear, or other imperfections even at 5x magnification. With the naked eye, these coins look brand new.
