Lot Description

133.9 grains. Exceptionally sharp detail overall with portions of the elephant's right foreleg discernible. While some of these are overstruck, this one is on a virgin planchet, which developed numerous tiny edge splits due to the striking pressure. The surfaces are frosty, lightly reflective, and attractively toned in a blend of olive and autumn-brown. Not even close inspection with a loupe reveals more than a few tiny marks or other wispy blemishes, none of which are worthy of singular mention. A very high grade, nice looking example of this scarce type.
