The numeric grades range from 1 to 70, with higher numbers indicating better condition and quality.
Coins graded 60 to 70 are considered Mint State (MS), reflecting coins struck in the same format as circulation issues.
Proof coins, struck from specially prepared dies on specially prepared planchets, are designated as PF/PR and typically exhibit sharper detail than regular strikes.
