Condition: I would grade this coin as very fine or better with all the details being sharp and very well preserved. The coin is nicely toned and has great eye appeal. It has wear commensurate with its age and circulated state. The coin has some minor scratches and bag marks throughout, which can be clearly seen in the scan. The coin has some striking issues which are original to the making. These can be seen in the closed 8 in the date on the obverse and the defect in the word SUISS on the reverse. However, the coin's details are still sharply evident and these defects are minor and do not affect the quality of the coin. The coin is in good original condition with great eye appeal making it a worthy addition to any collection. Please see photos for additional condition information.
