Minor local scarcity, but a beautifully struck and well-preserved coin. Mint condition confirmed by a very high NGC grade. This is the piece that received the highest NGC MS64 grade and is one of two pieces with an MS64 grade. An undescribed inscription variety in Jaroslaw Dutkowski's specialized catalog. In this state of preservation, the coin is rare and difficult to obtain on the collector market. A beautiful piece for discerning collectors.
