MS 63: Condition grade. MS stands for Mint State, representing completely uncirculated condition; the maximum grade is MS70. MS63 is a good uncirculated grade: only a few minor factory scratches, shallow patina, the main design relief is intact, no dents or major scratches. Old silver coins that achieve an uncirculated grade have a good condition advantage.
