What is a MS62 Green Label Coin?

Mint State 62 coins are uncirculated examples. They have some mint luster and retain all of the design details. They will tend to have contact marks or some minute distractions. The Green Label is only awarded to coins of exceptional quality that were first selected by a team at RARCOA for possessing factors such as outstanding eye-appeal, booming luster, strong trike, or attractive toning, before being submitted to NGC for grading and encapsulation.
