I would grade the coin as beautiful uncirculated with all the being very well preserved. The coin is lightly toned with no observable wear and retains the most intricate on both sides. The coin is problem free with minor scratches and a minimum number of bag marks. The coin is much better than the photos suggest. It is a beautiful, great looking and would make a great addition to your collection. Please see photos for additional condition information.
