Frosty and fully lustrous, a coin that would be choice even two or three grades higher. Both sides are notably free of any contact marks or other defects, though a significant amount of die rust is seen around reverse design elements. Light yellow gold and about as nice as could be hoped for. Most who view this coin will puzzle over what keeps it from a Mint State designation. From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.<p>From Kurt Spanier, March 1981.
