"Exceptional strike with full detail on the entire coin, one scratch on the reverse noted for accuracy" said CNG.
PCGS has graded one of these in MS64 and one in AU-55; two total. NGC has graded 10 of these, from MS61 including this one up to two in MS64. This is one of the better looking ones even compared to coins in higher grades in my opinion.
