To determine if a coin is graded MS-66 (Mint State 66), you should examine its surface for luster, strike quality, and absence of significant marks or blemishes. Coins graded MS-66 typically have a strong, clear strike with only minor imperfections visible under magnification. Comparing the coin to grading standards and using a professional grading service can provide a more accurate assessment. It's also helpful to refer to images of MS-66 coins for comparison.

No, I can't seem to find -any- information on them. I wouldn't buy an NGA slabbed coin unless you felt that the price was right and you can tell (hands on preferably) that the coin meets your specification. Most likely NGA is a front created by a coin dealer to mark up common coins by certifying them as MS-70/69 when in reality they might only grade MS-63/4 by PCGS/NGC. So no, I would not classify NGA as a reliable grading company.
