### Obverse (front)
**Wear and Detail Integrity:**
Moderate wear is evident across the central motif and high points of the legends. While the primary design remains distinct, the finer textures within the peripheral elements have smoothed considerably.
**Luster and Eye Appeal:**
Original mint luster is largely absent, replaced by a dull, circulated patina. The eye appeal is average for a mid-grade specimen.
**Surface Condition:**
Small contact marks and light abrasions are visible in the fields. The rims remain mostly intact with minor evidence of circulation.
### Reverse (back)
**Wear and Detail Integrity:**
The major devices show significant flattening on the highest relief areas. Legends are fully legible, though the inner details of the central motifs are partially merged.
**Luster and Eye Appeal:**
The surface exhibits a consistent grey tone typical of prolonged circulation. No traces of original luster remain.
**Surface Condition:**
Fields show scattered tiny marks consistent with a commercial life. The denticles along the edge are still clearly defined.
### Grading Analysis Results
**Grade: VF-20 (Very Fine 20)**
This coin shows moderate circulation wear on all high surfaces, yet major motifs remain well-defined and fully identifiable.
