Comment:
Deep mirrors through out the coin with an amazing clarity, are ultra clean, and intense reflection. A beautiful mix of original honey/reddish gold/pale violet colors swirl all over. w/ golden-brown and lilac-red peripheries
All details are needle sharp in strike and with a pale rose frost. The eye appeal incredible.

Comment:
Pollack Rates as R7 8-12 Pieces and considering only a 1/2 dozen have been in auctions since 2000 it is most likely closer to an High R7
