The MS grades applies only to uncirculated coins. MS-60 is the base grade, a coin can have many scratches, dings, spots but has no wear. The highest grade is MS-70, this is a perfect coin.
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.
Coins are graded on a 70 point scale with the lowest numbers being the worst condition and the higher number being the better coins. Circulated grades are from 1 to 59 and from 60 to 70 are uncirculated grades. A grade of MS-67 is a very high grade and a coin with that grade would be uncirculated and would have very few imperfections. An MS-67 is a desirable grade.

The designation "MS-66" on a silver necklace typically refers to a grading scale used in numismatics for coins, indicating "Mint State 66." While this grading system is more commonly applied to coins, if seen on a necklace, it suggests that the piece has been assessed for its quality and condition, denoting it as being in excellent, nearly flawless condition. This rating can help buyers understand the item's value and craftsmanship. However, it's important to clarify that this grading is not standard for jewelry and may be specific to certain contexts or sellers.

One man's MS-65 is another man's MS-66. Also, especially for early coins, MS-66 coins are almost unknown, or fetch extreme prices. For most coin books, there's no need to include the entire tier from MS-60 to MS-70 because the grades there are so subjective. The difference between a MS-63 and MS-65 may be quite easy to see, same with a MS-65 and MS-67 but the difference between an MS-65 and MS-66 are very slight.
