People ask me 'What does an uncirculated coin look like?' Here's an answer. The coin in our picture comes from amazing eBay seller caesars_ghost. The coin has absolutely no sign of wear and only a few small and faint blemishes acquired, no doubt, at the mint. The design elements are distinct and the fields are creamy and lustrous, not shiny. This is a beautiful uncirculated coin. You can see why collectors are willing to pay handsome premiums for such material.
