MS 70 is the top of the Sheldon scale: a business-strike coin with no post-production imperfection visible at 5x magnification. It is not a common outcome. On most issues the MS 70 population is a small fraction of what was submitted, and on some it is a two-digit number against mintages in the tens of thousands.

Everything on this page has earned that grade from NGC, PCGS, CACG or ANACS and is listed with its certification number so the population can be checked before purchase. The collection spans Perth Mint Australian Lunar issues, Mexican Libertads, Chinese Pandas, American Eagles and world coins.

A note on what MS 70 is and isn't: it describes surface preservation on a business strike, not a proof. Proof coins carry PR 70 or PF 70 designations, often with a DCAM or Ultra Cameo qualifier for contrast. Both appear across the assay house catalog, and the distinction is stated in every title.

Our grading guide explains the Sheldon scale, how the four services differ, and which label designations describe quality rather than timing.
