<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 4738314, member: 66"]The MS on that label may not indicate that it is Mint State. Back in the days of body bags (I don't know if this still hold true) when coins arrived they would be coded as either proofs or business strikes, and up until a grade was actually assigned they used MS to indicate a business strike. It had nothing to do with the grade. Many times people would send in circulated coins that had problems and they would come back in a body bag with that label that had MS on it and they would put them up on ebay, with the body bag label, claiming that PCGS certified it as Mint State, and point to the label as proof of their claim. Obviously circulated coins with a label that said MS but no grade.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
