Condition: NGC MS64
A superbly struck and preserved coin. Patina. Intense luster and mint mirror throughout. Mint condition of the coin confirmed by very high NGC grade. A rarer vintage. In this state of preservation, the coin is quite rare and quite difficult to obtain on the collector market. Piece for discerning collectors.
