What is MS62 grading?

MS62 is a grade on the Sheldon scale used to assess the quality of uncirculated coins. It indicates that the coin has noticeable imperfections, such as marks or scratches, but still retains a significant amount of its original luster. Coins graded MS62 are considered to be in the lower end of the uncirculated spectrum, making them suitable for collectors who value affordability over absolute perfection. Overall, this grade reflects a coin that is collectible but may show signs of wear from handling or storage.
