What MS70 means
A 1919 Mercury dime with no mint mark in Mint State (MS-70) is flawless at magnification: no wear, no marks, no weakness in the strike, full lustre everywhere. It is the top of the scale and it is almost never awarded to a coin that was struck for circulation, so a listing offering one deserves the certification number checked before anything else.
A slab, a dealer’s list or a price guide may write this grade MS-70. They are the same grade and the same 1919 Mercury dime with no mint mark.
Where this grade sits
The grades a 1919 Mercury dime with no mint mark is given run from PO1 to MS70. MS70 is the top of that scale, so there is no grade above it to step up to. In general terms, the higher the grade the more the coin is worth.
A blank in the value column is a grade this site has not researched, not a grade the coin is worth nothing in.
