Lustrous and choice (exceptional quality for this beautiful and popular type), with full struck all over except for just the base of the tree, minor marks in the ample open fields but otherwise fully UNC, the noted drill mark above the tree (small pit with squiggly line to right, barely noticeable with the naked eye) possibly from an old assay test. NGC #4427836-001. Pedigreed to the Richard Stuart collection.
