Condition: NGC MS65
For this type a superbly struck and exquisitely preserved piece. Beautiful detail. Intense luster and mint mirror all over. Mint condition of the coin confirmed by an extremely high NGC grade. This is the piece that received the highest NGC MS65 grade and is the only piece with an MS65 grade. In this condition, the coin is rare and difficult to find on the collector market. An excellent piece for the best collections.
