I've encountered the abbreviation MS on some coins and I'm wondering what it stands for. Does it represent a specific grading system or has some other significance in numismatics? What does MS mean in coins?

Mint State (MS) is a grading system that categorizes coins based on their condition.

These grades are specifically used for business strike coins that have never been in circulation.

A coin graded as MS-60 will have marks or imperfections on its surface.

As the grade increases, the number of marks decreases.
