Generally seen in AU or low-grade Mint State, often cleaned or ex-jewelry, the superb, original surfaces of this specimen demonstrate the great care taken by the generations of numismatists that have showcased this magnificent piece in their cabinets. The tone is a golden russet throughout with fully evident underlying luster, and the strike is needle-sharp. In a realm of its own at this certified level of Gem, and visually engaging at every turn.
