Choice BU surfaces with good luster and color, however one of the weakest strikes I have seen on a coin of this series in a long time. This may have been struck on a defective (thin) planchet, or it may be a "set up strike", where the pressmen gradually ramp up the striking pressure to get a complete strike. As this is not a precious metal coin, it was "good enough" to pass QC. The "lines" seen in the Obverse image are on the area of the planchet not struck up, not damage. I will guarantee a certified grade of MS-60 or better if submitted, but not sure why anyone would want to do so. This is best used as a grading example to represent the Basic Unc end of the grade range, but despite the strike is not a bad looking coin.

This seller has enabled "Manual Invoice Approval" on their account. This means that after you complete checkout, you will NOT be automatically redirected to PayPal (if applicable) and will not be able to complete payment immediately. Instead, the seller will review the invoice and may, or may not, add or subtract additional charges, as explained in their policies and/or listing description. When the invoice is updated and approved by the seller, you will receive an automated email notification later, and you will be able to pay the updated invoice as you would normally.
All checks must clear prior to payment of purchase, which may take up to 12 Business days. IF YOU CHOOSE TO PURCHASE MULTIPLE ITEMS, PLEASE WAIT FOR AN INVOICE PRIOR TO PAYMENT. I combine all shipping charges to the minimum necessary to get purchases to the customer. Please be aware that the USPS has recently increased postage for package shipments and Insurance - $7-$9 for shipping may look like a lot, but it barely covers my actual cost. If you have any questions, just ask.
