MS-63 (Mint State 63) quality

• Luster: The striking luster is good and present , without being spectacular.

• Strike: The strike is generally crisp , although some fine details, particularly the architecture of buildings, may be slightly soft in places.

• Imperfections: An MS-63 coin is considered a prime example. It exhibits a moderate number of obvious contact marks , or several light scratches. These flaws are visible to the naked eye but are neither so numerous nor so severe as to detract from the coin's visual appeal.

• Tone: The color of nickel is uniform, although slight spots or slight tarnish may be tolerated if they are not too distracting.

The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II .
