Condition & Photos
Reflective Proof surfaces show visible haze, mottled toning, and small spots, especially around the obverse fields and lower date area. The display case has scuffs and reflections; the brown box shows surface scratches and edge/corner wear. All four original photographs show the exact coin and packaging included. The reverse is photographed through the packaging window, so fine surface details are less clearly visible. This coin is uncertified; no numerical Proof grade, Cameo, or Deep Cameo designation is assigned. No separate certificate is shown or included in this listing.
Please review all photographs carefully for the exact condition of the coin being offered. The coin pictured is the coin you will receive.
Dwight D. Eisenhower's portrait appears on the obverse. The reverse depicts an eagle landing on the Moon with Earth in the distance, inspired by the Apollo 11 mission insignia.
