Framed by a touch of peripheral patina, this beautiful coin has fully frosted and sharply struck devices that stand out from the flawless fields. An unbelievable beauty that is truly a delight to behold. PCGS 28, NGC 21, CAC 18. There are only six examples graded 67+ and there are a mere two pieces graded finer.
