Condition: 2-
Scratches on the reverse surface (visible in the photo) and slight localized under-strikes, but a beautifully preserved piece. Good detail. Luster and plenty of mint mirror. A rare, prized, and sought-after inscription variant. The coin is rare and quite difficult to find on the collectors’ market.
