Rating Definition:

Excellent, retaining 98% original blue and grey finishes, light handling evidence, and some areas of grease staining on the coin, mostly hidden. The wood is very good as revarnished, showing a few dings and scratches, slightly uneven varnish in areas, high edge wear, and sharp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
