Those circular scrapes on the obverse might be a bit troublesome Trout,otherwise looks about UNC.

Is that a die crack on the Rev between 11 & 12k?

AU obv and UNC reverse.  There's some patterns in the lines I see on the obverse that I don't like very much.  Still, it's a nice coin!

I obviously need to do some work to improve my camera skills.
Looking at the coin "in hand" there is no evidence of wear but the obverse is rather baggy.
The lustre is outstanding and the coin "Cartwheels" beautifully.
I do however think that it may have had a brief dip and done professionally and  without damaging the lustre because the coin is far too blast white and unblemished for a coin of this age IMHO :ok:
