MS means "mint state"; i.e. the coin is exactly as it came from the mint, and has never been in circulation. 70 is the numeric sub-grade for MS coins. The subgrades for MS range from 60, the lowest acceptable condition for a coin to be considered in mint state, to 70 which indicates the best possible, no scratches, weak portions of the image, etc.

To be truly MS70 the coin must be utterly flawless and should be certified as such by a recognized association such as PNG or PCGS. Needless to say, coins graded MS70 are very few and far between so they can command exceptional prices at auction.

How much is a ms70 silver eagle worth?

I am sorry but I am not aware of the US Treasury minting a Silver Dollar in 1970 or does this coin have another date?Peace Dollars were minted from 1922 - 1935; Eisenhower Dollars from 1971-1978; Susan B. Anthony Dollars from 1979-1999; and, Sacagawea Dollars from 2000-2008; American Eagle Dollars were initially minted in 1986.CorrectionMS70 refers to the coin's condition, not its date. MS70 is the highest possible condition for a coin, and should only be assigned by a certified grader from one of the major grading agencies. However, without a date it's not possible to give even a ballpark estimate; values vary widely from one year to the next. In any case if the coin is certified at that level its value will have to be determined by in-person inspection rather than an online estimate sight unseen.
