Owner Comments:
Nice Victoria shilling with great original luster on reverse and pretty strong strike. Coin is graded AU DETAILS - SURFACE HAIRLINES. Coin is mostly white with some gold, turquoise, and red toning along the rims (mostly on reverse). Light contact marks, scratches, and wear are present commensurate with grade; no visible hairlines that I can discern. Cost: $24.99 on 12/20/15 on eBay from Consign and Recline LLC (consignandreclinellc).
