Lot Description

Well circulated, yes, but with minimal roughness and some nice gloss to the obverse, reverse with original planchet texture at left, but no mentionable marks apart from a minor edge bruise at 7 o'clock. Medium and golden-brown patina with intermingle copper-rose on the obverse. Left obverse and reverse soft, remaining areas suitably bold for the assigned grade. Rather nice in a VG example of this challenging Maris number.
