Best Answer

"MS" stands for Mint State and 69 is a grade number on a scale of 1 to 70. Mint state coins are coins in the same condition that they were in just after leaving the mint, with no evidence of wear or handling.

Mint state coins can still have normal damage from being put in hoppers and bagged, so the degree of damage is evaluated by the number associated with the letter grade. An MS-60 would be the lowest grade of mint state coin, with no wear or handling but numerous "dings", etc. from the minting process. An MS-69 coin would have essentially no evidence of such damage, and be in pristine condition. Assigning a grade that high is a job reserved for trained experts who could recognize and evaluate even the slightest flaws.

What is MS60?

Mint State 60 means an uncirculated coin. Uncirculated coins are graded from MS-60 to MS-70. An MS60 coin may have many bag marks from shipping and hairline scratches and some details may be missing due to a light strike, but it cannot show any evidence of wear. An MS70 coin must have a full strike on a flawless planchet and show absolutely no signs of any damage. The grades of MS61 to MS69 are, naturally, somewhere between the two.
