A nearly flawless coin, produced in outstanding proof format, with luxurious satin-textured design components and fields that are deeply reflective and without visible post-strike imperfection. As is the case with the entire mintage of this issue, the edge is stamped at 6 o'clock to verify striking sequence, with this example bearing the number '020'.
