A superbly struck and exquisitely preserved piece. Deep, artistic relief. Impressive detail. Intense luster and mint mirror. Mint condition confirmed by an extremely high NGC grade. This is the piece that received the highest NGC MS66 grade and is the only piece with an MS66 grade. In this state of preservation, the coin is very rare and difficult to find on the collector market. An excellent piece for the best collections.
