Certification details

• Grade: MS-70

• Description of the grade:

  • MS (Mint State): The coin is in mint condition, having never circulated.

  • 70 (on the Sheldon scale): This is the highest possible grade . A coin marked MS-70 is technically perfect, free from any imperfections visible under magnification. It has a full luster and an impeccable strike.

  • BU (Brilliant Uncirculated): This term means that the coin has not circulated and has retained all its original brilliance.

  • "Perfect GEM": This designation is synonymous with the state of perfection represented by the MS-70 grade. It confirms that the piece is a flawless "jewel" of the highest quality.

Achieving MS-70 grade for a circulation coin is a numismatic feat. Its value is exponentially greater than that of its lower-grade counterparts.
