I&#039;ve always liked the theme on these coins and wanted one since I started collecting, so netting this one on May of 2016 was a huge occasion for me.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s far from perfect. It appears to me like it&#039;s probably crystalized on the inside, plus it does have two interconnected mineral deposits on the reverse which form a discoloration that look like a B.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, despite the downsides, the upsides are huge for me. Killer style, excellent preservation (despite those condition issues I noted), good strike, well centered, and lizard on the reverse.&nbsp; It&#039;s definitely a winner in my book, I hope it&#039;s one in your book too.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
