This MS65 CAC example is simply outstanding. The surfaces display rich, original luster with crusty pearl-gray toning that enhances the eye appeal. The strike is exceptionally sharp, particularly on the ship's rigging and sails on the reverse. The fields are remarkably clean for the grade, showing minimal marks or distractions. A premium gem that fully deserves both its grade and CAC approval.
