Condition: I would grade this coin as about uncirculated with all of its details being very well preserved and being lightly toned. The coin has minimum wear to the highest points commensurate with its age and about uncirculated state. It has a few scratches, some bag marks, and some minor stains or soiling to the surface. It is in original circulated condition with no apparent problems and has great eye appeal. It is better than the photos suggest. It has wear commensurate with its age and it’s about circulated status. Please see photo for additional condition information.
