Condition: NGC MS65
A superbly struck and exquisitely preserved coin. Intense luster and mint mirror throughout. Mint condition confirmed by an extremely high NGC grade. This is the piece that received the highest NGC MS65 grade and is the only piece with such agrade. Rarer vintage. In this state of preservation, the coin is very rare and practically unavailable on the collector market. An absolute mint piece for the best collections.
