Condition & Luster: A brilliant, "blast white" specimen with exceptional eye appeal. The surfaces possess a high degree of original mint luster, offering a crisp, silvery brilliance that is increasingly difficult to find on this large-diameter issue. Strike & Surfaces: Struck at the Bombay Mint ("B" mint mark in the center prong of the trident). The design features a sharp strike on Britannia's shield and the intricate oriental fretwork on the reverse. The surfaces are very choice for the grade, with a few light, grade-consistent bagmarks that do not distract from the overall GEM-like appearance. Light clahed dies effect is noticeble mostly on Reverse and mentioned for accuracy of decription. Technical Note: Unlike many examples that were harshly cleaned and hairlined or developed "sea salvage" surfaces, this dollar remains undamaged, untoned and bright. It represents a high-tier example for the collector of British Colonial, Oriental or silver crown-sized coinage. 26.96 g., 0.900 Silver 0.780 oz. ASW, 39 mm.
