[QUOTE="desertgem, post: 514238, member: 15199"]Probably 3 other people are answering also, but the PR - > PRoof and MS->Mint State. Proof coins are produced under specific high standards as "presentation" pieces. MS coins are minted for use in commerce and [I]can be almost[/I] as good as PR, but usually not. However, since they are not expected to be much from average, a MS68 is unusually great, whereas a PR68 may be a little below standards. IMO. Jim[/QUOTE]
