Old cabinet tone, minor marks, otherwise about very fine

Here is a reasonably priced coin of a very difficult type to find nice. In fact, I have never seen a great coin of this issue. It would appear that the dies were engraved in too high relief to strike up properly – and those that did strike well wore down very quickly. Oddly, for this otherwise common type it is never seen in mint condition. MSG.
