Minimally bent (visible in photos), but a superbly struck and preserved piece in excellent condition. Impressive detail. Intense luster and mint mirror throughout. Mint condition confirmed by a very high NGC grade. Only one piece received a higher NGC grade. In this state of preservation, the coin is rare and difficult to find on the collector's market. An exquisite piece to adorn the best collections.
