Condition: NGC AU Details
A beautifully struck and preserved coin for this type. Good detail. Gloss and lots of mint mirror. NGC slab coin. A rarer variety with a split date. In this state of preservation, the coin is quite rare and quite difficult to get on the collector market. An attractive piece.
