State of preservation: NGC MS63
End of plate, but a superbly struck and preserved piece. Impressive detail. Intenseluster and mint mirror throughout. Mint condition of the coin confirmed by a very high NGC grade. In this state of preservation, the coin is rare and difficult to find on the collector market. A piece for discerning collectors.
