Looks like a trace of wear, I'd say AU details, scratched and possibly cleaned in the past. Still, an attractive coin and probably retains more value than your typical details coin.

Great learning this, a beauty but still details. Already at 300s. Problem with a problemcoin is that when one sells it you have to find one that doesn't see the problem as a problem

Had it at AU details. Sold for a big chunk of change! Quote:The fact it's not in a TPG holder is a red flag for me. The OP is from Sweden, and the photos look typical of a world auction. TPG certification is mainstream in the United States, but has not yet gained the same popularity in the rest of the world. So raw coins in world auctions should not be a surprise.
