Condition: I would grade the coin as extremely fine or much better. The coin has all of its details very well preserved with minimum wear. The coin has wear to the right of the arms on the reverse, which is the main reason we grade the coin XF++ instead of AU+. The coin displays the word "MFDELLIN" and not "MEDELLIN" as it should be below Simon Bolivar's head on the obverse. The coin has a few scratches, some bag marks, and some soiling embedded into the design, especially on the reverse. The coin is beautiful and shows wear commensurate with its age and circulated status. A nice coin which would make a great addition to your collection. Please see photos for additional condition information.
