Coin grading is done on a scale from 1-70. A coin grading a 1 is a barely recognizable chunk of metal, a coin grading of 70 is absolute perfection with everything fully struck and the coin has a brilliant luster. MS stands for mint-state, which occupies the numbers 60-70. A mint state coin will not have any wear and tear, it may have "bag marks" from being handled by the mint, but will not have any parts of the coin worn down. A MS 65 coin is about average for an uncirculated coin, it has no wear but either has too many marks or wasn't struck well enough to be considered any higher than a 65. Certified means that an independent grading company such as NGC or PGS has looked at the coin and gave it a grade. These grades are considered to be many times more reputable than a coin dealer saying what grade it is and will help you if you decide to sell the coin in the future. So basically, if you are buying a MS 65 certified coin, it is an uncirculated coin which NGC or PGS has said it is MS 65, they usually are "slabbed" which is they are sold in a holder which protects the coins.
