Condition: I would grade this coin as a good very fine with all the details being relatively well preserved. The coin shows wear and losses to the details in the high points of the floral designs both on the obverse and reverse as well as showing wear to the stars on top of the obverse, the quivers in the bottom as well as the stars in the top of the reverse. The reverse of the coin also shows scratches at the edge above the three stars. The coin also has some additional scratches, some bag marks, and dings to the edge. It also has dark toning and is highly soiled. All these issues can be seen in the photos. The coin is much darker than the photos suggest and has nice eye appeal. Please see photos for additional condition information.
