Coins are graded to their condition that includes the amount of wear it has. MS68 is a level of the grading used in coins. It is a very high rating, MS means Mint State which means uncirculated condition, straight off the mint's stamping die. 68 is a level of mint state, the higher the number the better the condition. Professional grading societies exist to grade coins they can tell the difference between a 68, 67 and a 69 mint state coin. Hope this helps you.

I bought some of these coins and initially left favorable feedback - I now know that I was ripped off. "Precision Coin Grading" (www.precisioncoingrading.com) is operated from the same Sydney, NSW address as the main eBay seller of these coins - I checked the domain registration details of the company and it was the same as the return address of where I received the coins from. It is essentially a con - many of the coins appear to be cleaned, polished or simply over graded. The seller claims not to have graded the coins himself, but why are the coins coming from the address of the grading company? Other collectors are onto this - see http://coinauctionshelp.com/Coin_Help_Blog/2009/11/03/new-grading-services-at-ebay-warning-pcgmgc/ as an example.
