Detailed MS-63 Quality

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

  • Strike: The strike is generally crisp , although some minor details may be slightly soft.

  • Imperfections: An MS-63 coin is considered a choice piece. It exhibits a moderate number of obvious contact marks , or several light scratches, visible to the naked eye. These flaws result from the minting and bulk packaging process but do not detract from the coin's overall visual appeal.

  • Visual Appeal: The appearance is acceptable for an uncirculated collector's item.

The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the 'P' is missing under the bust.
