In response to your question, MS coins are graded "as struck" as long as there is not a major loss of eye appeal to the coin due to, say, light MD. Even MS70 coins are graded "as struck" with the same criteria. Depending on the denomination, year, mint, etc.... some coins were struck better than others but can still achieve an MS grade as long as they are UN-circulated. There are numerous criteria involved in the grading process. However, always keep in mind that
TPG's are human and being so, makes grading a subjective art.
