Condition: The coin is graded as Very Fine VF20 by PCGS and comes in a plastic holder so labeled. This is a beautiful and nicely colored coin with honest wear but no problems. The coin has a nice chocolate brown patina. It has scratches, bag marks, and minor dings to the rim, which can be seen in the photos. It is untouched and in good original condition. The only thing we see is the fact that there is a chip in the slab in the right bottom corner on the obverse. This is rather small and does not affect the quality and beauty of the coin. A definite a rare find, deserving a spot in your collection. Please see photo to appreciate beauty of the coin and for additional condition information.
