An NGC MS-70 “Early Release” Coin
Third-party services, like the NGC—Numismatic Guaranty Company—work independently of sovereign mints and use the Sheldon Grading Scale to assign coins a particular grade. The scale ranges from 1 to 70.
According to NGC, “Early Release” refers to coins purchased from their original mint within 30 days of their official release and submitted to its appraisal.
MS stands for Mint State, referring to coins shaped as popular business coins. 70, the highest grade on the scale, is attributed to a coin that does not show visible flaws.
