Beautifully Preserved MS63 with Green Label

This coin's grade is provided on NGC's Green Label. The Green Label was produced in collaboration between Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) and Rare Coin Company of America (RARCOA), one of the leading numismatic distributors in the United States. The presence of the label indicates that RARCOA first examined the coin and determined that it met a set of standards referring to luster, strike, eye-appeal, and toning, before it was then submitted for grading to NGC. NGC gave the coin a grade of Mint State 63, which means that it has about an average strike and lacks any traces of wear.
