<p>[QUOTE=&quot;swhuck, post: 960379, member: 21044&quot;]Terminology used for mint state coins in Heritage Auctions&#039; US coin catalogs:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>MS63: Select</p><p>MS64: Choice or Near-Gem</p><p>MS65: Gem</p><p>MS66: Premium Gem</p><p>MS67: Superb or Superb Gem</p><p>MS70: Perfect</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Proof coins have the same adjectives, but need to also be described as &quot;Proof&quot;. We will never use the term &quot;Select&quot; on a coin grading below MS63 or PR63. Mint State or Proof coins grading above or below those ranges will not have grades described by adjectives; we simply use the numerical grade.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>This represents official cataloging department procedure and not necessarily the opinions of the poster. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
