I'm trying to understand the meaning of 'MS' when it's used to describe the value of a coin. Is it a grading system, or does it represent something else entirely? I'd like to know how it affects the coin's overall value.

At the lower end of the scale, MS-60, a coin may be covered with marks or imperfections.
