TroCuri grade analysis. Every defect TroCuri observed is listed below so you can verify against the photos.

Overall: The coin presents as a solid circulated example with moderate wear and clear overall detail, supporting a Very Fine level. It is darker, gray, and evenly worn rather than bright, which matches the lack of remaining mint luster.

Wear: Wear is visible on the highest points of the obverse portrait, especially the crown, hair/veil, and cheek/jaw. The reverse also shows softening on the crown, wreath edges, and top lettering, but the main design remains well defined.

Luster: No meaningful mint luster is visible in the supplied images. The surfaces appear uniformly dull and circulated.

Strike: The strike appears reasonably complete for the type, with the legends, date, crown, and wreath all formed and readable. Weakness appears to be more from wear than strike deficiency.

Surface Preservation: The surfaces show typical circulation smoothing with a few minor marks. No obvious harsh cleaning, polishing, PVC residue, or active corrosion is visible in the photos.

Eye Appeal: Eye appeal is average for a circulated silver coin in this grade. The piece presents evenly with a straightforward gray look and no standout premium toning.

Contact Marks: A few small abrasions and nicks are visible in the open fields and around the portrait. There are no large gouges or major focal-area cuts apparent in the photos.

Toning / Color: The coin shows an even gray patina with muted silver color. No strong rainbow toning or artificial color is evident.
