Condition:  I would grade this coin as a very fine or much better with all the details being well preserved. The coin has a few scratches , but is nicely toned. The coin has no observable problems. It is much better than the scan shows. It does have minor bag marks, a few shallow and rather minor nicks to the rim and wear commensurate with its age and circulated status. . The coin has excellent eye appeal and is beautiful. Please see photo for condition information.
