UNC+ quality (MS-63 / MS-64 equivalent)
-
Absence of wear: The essential criterion is the total absence of wear from circulation. The coin retains a good to excellent mint luster (brilliance).
-
Strike: The strike is generally crisp and the details of the Caribou are well defined.
-
Imperfections: Unlike a generic UNC (which could be MS-60 to MS-62), the UNC+ exhibits a moderate number of visible contact marks or a few minor handling scratches. These marks are fewer and less distracting than those found on lower-quality coins, allowing the coin to maintain a very good overall visual appeal .
-
Visual Appeal: The appearance is very pleasing and collectable.
The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II .
