Only a very few tiny handling marks prevent a higher grade, but they do not interfere with the fabulous eye-appeal of this special coin. As with the previous 10 Cent issue, this piece is the finest example of the Heaton Trial issue certified by either PCGS, or NGC. Extremely rare with only a very few pieces known to exist.
