Best Answer

MS66 is a grade of a coin, rather than a mark on a coin.

"MS" stands for Mint State, meaning the coin looks like it did when it was first minted. "66" is a numerical gradation within the broad category of Mint State. For MS coins, the numerical grade can be anywhere from 60, the minimum acceptable condition for Mint State, to 70, meaning an absolutely perfect coin. Very few coins rate even 68 let alone 70, so an MS66 nickel would appear to be brand-new and in addition would be quite sharp and well-struck. As of 08/2015 the retail value for a 1908 nickel in that condition would be around $2600.
