Condition:
I would grade this coin as very fine or better with all the details being very well preserved and has nice eye appeal. The coin has great eye appeal with some soiling. It is much better than the scan shows. It does have minor scratches, and wear commensurate with its age and circulated status. It also has a surface stain to within the D of Duribah on the reverse and other dark spots on the reverse dues to the embedding of dirt into the calligraphy. Please see photo for additional condition information.
