Tied for finest certified of the date with one other example on the NGC population report, none finer; no Mint State examples have been certified at PCGS.

A lovely nicely preserved example of the type with smooth lustrous surfaces offering much flash complemented by attractive light orange tone in the peripheries. From the Las Colinas Collection.
