Lustrous and sharp, with medium yellow gold toning on the obverse and lighter yellow gold on the reverse with an olive tint. Very attractive for the grade, showing scattered lines and chatter but nothing serious. Two light abrasions in the right obverse only turn up under a magnification. A very pleasing specimen overall.
