Best Answer

MS 70 is the highest grade of a coin, it is in essence a perfect coin. Such a coin will contain no blemishes, bag marks, and will usually be a full, complete strike. It is very hard for a business strike coin to grade MS 70, however they are more common for proof coins. Coins are graded on a scale from 1 to 70 with 1 being barely recognizable as more than a chunk of metal and 70 being perfection. MS, or Mint-State refers to uncirculated coins (the grades 60-70), however, many uncirculated coins, even though they have no wear, they have bag marks and other blemishes so such coins may grade as MS 65 or so.

What is MS-67?

MS-67 is the "grade" of a coin. MS=Mint State and Mint state is the highest Grade given to any coin that has been in circulation. The 67 is the actual grade of the coin and the scale goes from MS-60 to MS-70.

What is an MS mint mark?

"MS" isn't a mint mark. It's an abbreviation for the grading term "mint state", which means that a coin is in the same condition as when it left the mint for distribution. Normally MS is followed by a number from 60 to 70 that indicates how well-struck the coin is. MS-60 is the lowest grade for an uncirculated coin, while an MS-70 is as close to perfection as you can get. In practice very few uncirculated coins qualify as MS-65 or higher.
