What MS60 means

A 1977-D Washington quarter in Mint State (MS-60) has no wear at all and is graded at the bottom of mint state for everything else: the open fields of Washington’s cheek and jaw carry heavy contact marks from the mint bag, the lustre is dull or broken, and the coin has little eye appeal. Nothing about it circulated; everything about it was handled.

A slab, a dealer’s list or a price guide may write this grade MS-60. They are the same grade and the same 1977-D Washington quarter.
