Condition: I would grade it as a very nice extremely fine to about uncirculated with well-preserved details and minor wear. The coin has some minor wear to the high points commensurate with its age and circulated state, some surface scratches and minor bag marks. It is beautiful with all of its details being well preserved and having nice eye appeal. The coin is much better than the photos suggest. A great coin to add to your collection.
