What does MS 64 BN mean?

There are actually 2 different terms in the question. First, "MS" means "mint state" and refers to a coin as it came from the mint with no blemishes or wear, and never put in circulation. The general MS grade is further broken down into 11 subgrades ranging from MS-61 to MS-70. 61 is the lowest acceptable grade for a mint-state coin. It's still uncirculated and undamaged but may not be a very sharp strike or may have some other minting flaw that makes it less desirable. 70 is the absolute top-most condition, as close to perfect as it's possible to have. Almost no coins qualify for that subgrade or even its predecessors MS-68 and MS-69. So, an MS-64 coin is in the middle and would be considered a very high quality specimen. BN is one of 3 abbreviations used to describe the color of a copper coin. BN is brown, RD is red, and RB is red-brown.
