"MS" means "mint state". Mint state means the coin is the same as it was when the mint struck it. It has no wear at all. Mint state is also called "uncirculated". The numbers following the "MS" indicate the surface condition of the coin. The higher the number the fewer nicks, scratches and other imperfections are found on the coin. These numbers for the uncirculated coins range from MS60 to MS70 with an MS70 coin considered to be in absolute perfect condition.
How do you tell if a coin is graded MS-66?
The answer is that the average person can't. "MS" is a grade meaning "Mint State"; i.e. the coin is uncirculated and in the same condition as when it was minted. That grade is further broken down into 11 sub-grades ranging from MS-60, the lowest acceptable condition that can still be considered Mint State, all the way up to MS-70 for a coin that is in absolutely flawless condition. To assign a specific grade within MS, an appraiser requires special training. They have to look for particular details on each type of coin and combine them to assign the numerical grade. Those items might be as specific as the sharpness of the lettering or how the hair on a portrait appears. Normally the major numismatic societies employ a staff of professional graders. Even with their training decisions can still be subjective so it's sometimes necessary to have a coin evaluated by more than one agency.
