### Obverse (front)
**Wear and Detail Integrity:**
Moderate wear is evident across the major devices. The high points of the central figure show flattening, though the outline and primary decorative elements remain distinct. Legends are clear but softened.
**Luster and Eye Appeal:**
Original mint luster is absent, replaced by a consistent chocolate-brown patina. The eye appeal is average for a circulated specimen.
**Surface Condition:**
The fields show minor contact marks and scattered small abrasions consistent with circulation. The rims remain mostly intact with slight softening.
### Reverse (back)
**Wear and Detail Integrity:**
Wear is evenly distributed across the central motifs and legends. The inner border and decorative scrolls show loss of fine detail while remaining fully legible.
**Luster and Eye Appeal:**
The surface exhibits a dull, non-reflective finish. The overall appearance is honest and representative of a mid-grade circulated coin.
**Surface Condition:**
Consistent with the obverse, the fields display light handling marks. No major distracting gouges or environmental damage are visible.
### Grading Analysis Results
**Grade: VF-20 (Very Fine 20)**
