The glittering surfaces are semi prooflike on both sides. Some scattered light marks, none of which are worthy of mention. Rich golden-orange with a hint of greenish color. An impressive coin and one of the finest in existence. An amazing example of this extremely important date, among the rarest of all gold coinage Types. Both obverse and reverse have yellow reflective luster, as mentioned with soft frosty devices exhibiting strong details including full stars. Only a trace of light toning is present. The slightest weakness is noted at left side of the shield, though other than this the strike is full. Magnification reveals a pair of small chattermarks in the field below the left wing.
