What Are The Most Affordable And Most Beautiful Ms-70 United States Silver Dollars?

Today United States coins are most often graded on a scale that goes from 0 to 70 point. This scale was originally devised by Dr. William Shelby and is used by the major coin grading services today.

A coin that's graded zero means that you can probably tell that at some point in time it was a coin. However, a coin that achieves a grade of seventy means that it is perfect.

If you invest in US coins it is extremely important to know the grade of the coins that you buy as well as the company that graded the coin because both have a huge influence on how much the coin is worth. Generally speaking, the higher the grade of the coin the more valuable it is - that is if it's graded by one of the two major coin grading services.

Some people say grading coins is a science and some say it's an art. Most people agree, however, that grading coins has become a very profitable big business.

What Makes a Coin an MS-70 Coin?

MS stands for Mint State. It is an uncirculated coin that has absolutely no trace of wear. A perfect MS-70 coin has great color, a good strike, no blemishes, and a number of other qualities important to the coin collector and connoisseur. Any coin that you come across in your loose change is highly unlikely to be graded MS-70.

What is the Most Beautiful, Most Affordable MS-70 United States Coin?

Many investors and collectors feel that the American Silver Eagle, which was first minted in 1986, is the most beautiful U S coin that was ever minted.

The Silver American Eagle, whose obverse design was taken from the "Walking Liberty" half dollar designed by Adolph A. Weinman, contains one troy ounce of 99.9% pure silver. The other side of the coin, the obverse, is inscribed with the phrase In GOD WE TRUST, the word LIBERTY, and the year in which it was minted.

Between 1986 and 2005 only bullion or proof Silver Eagles were minted. During that period of time one of the best known and most respected grading services only gave 16 coins that were submitted to them an MS-70 grade. From 2006 through 2008 the US Mint issued an uncirculated, collectible Silver Eagle at the West Point Mint. It bears a W mintmark.

These coins are sometimes called "W Uncirculated" or "Burnished Uncirculated" because each of them was struck on a specially burnished blank. There weren't any burnished uncirculated silver eagles minted in 2009.

Considerably more 2006 or newer Silver Eagles have been graded MS-70. These are much more affordable than the earlier issues.

Questions & Answers about Mint State Grade

I have a collection "The last Decade of U.S. 90%silver coinage 1955 - 1964" 59 silver coins in BU. Value?

Should I remove the Mint State coins and put them in holders or get them graded by a grading service? Some are Gems. Some of the Franklins have full bell lines. If I take these to a dealer I will be offered silver price. This was my late husbands stuff and as a widow I am trying to maximise the investment he made.

There are really no key coins in that date range. If you feel the Franklin's are very High Grade with full bell lines, then it may pay to send them in to be graded and slabbed. You can send them yourself to ANACS go to their web site for info. You must belong to PCGS or for NGC be a member of ANA. It may be best to see if a coin club is in your area and ask them for help. I am not sure what you have for they are a set not sold by the mint, but put out by a private company. All mint state coins should be already in holders but back then some were no Very Good for the coins. Best I can do here.

Is it better to get the presidential 1$ coin collection through the Franklin mint, or the US Mint?

I am new to coin colecting and was wondering if the deal through the Franklin mint is actually as good as it sounds or if it is better to just get the coins through the US mint. I have heard that it is best to get proofs. The Franklin Mint Gold plates the coins (and platinum plates the Kennedy and Reagan dollars).

My parents got me the state quarter colection through the Franklin Mint, and it has a nice display and they are all encased and good quality. But I do not know if the Franklin mint is selling the 'investment grade coins' or if it is better to just go with the US mint and buy the proofs and/or uncirculated coins.

I am most interested in future value.

Lol, on your name.

It shouldn't effect future value, and is more about ease of accessiblity, I believe.
