Condition: I would grade this beautiful coin a good about uncirculated to uncirculated with beautiful red and brown toning and still having some residual luster. The coin has all of its details well preserved with minimum wear if any. The queen's hair shows great details as do her facial features. The same holds true for Britannia on the reverse. The coin has a few minor scratches and bag marks, but these are minor and do not distract from the beauty and condition of this problem free coin. The coin has wear commensurate with its age and circulated state. The coin has nice coloring and is problem free. Please see photo for additional condition information.
