Uncirculated means that the coin has never been handled and used in commerce. An uncirculated coin may still have some bag marks on it from when it was taken to banks but shouldn't show any wear on the surface of the coin (for example, on the reverse, all the Eagle's breast feathers should be visible and crisp, on a circulated coin those feathers are often quickly worn down). Uncirculated coins for older coins usually trade at a premium over the silver content in them, but keep in mind that some unscrupulous dealers will mark coins that are lightly circulated as uncirculated but if you take them to a reputable grading company such as PGS they will grade them as almost uncirculated.

What does MS66 mean in silver dollars?
In coin grading terminology "MS" stands for "mint state" or the state a coin is in when minted and uncirculated. Showing no signs of wear or indication of circulation. MS is interchangeable with "uncirculated". Although MS coins have no wear from circulation they may have varying imperfections from the minting process. To allow for that, the "MS" coins are graded on a scale beginning with 60 and going up to 70 (this is the highest number, which indicates supposed "perfection"). So MS66 would mean a "mint state" or uncirculated coin graded 66 out of a possible 70 on the grading scale. A very nice coin.
What does pcgs 63 pl vam 5 mean on a Morgan silver dollar?
Well, I believe what they mean is that it is the 5th VAM designation of your coin's year (VAM designations are die varieties found in Morgan Dollars, some are worth a lot more than others) and the 63 I believe would refer to the coin's grade as Mint-state 63 (coins are graded on a scale from 1 being barely recognizable to 70 being absolute perfection) and PGS is the grading company that graded the coin.
