Firstly, lets deal with the NGC attribution. UNC DETAILS CLEANED.
I cannot see any evidence at all that this coin has been cleaned, either recently or in antiquity. The very attractive grey brown/steel blue tone looks totally natural. The box in which it was stored is photographed and is clearly quite old. Other than very few contact marks, this is near mint, and rare in this condition
I did consider taking this out of the plastic holder, but I will let the new owner make their own minds up.
Provenance Spinks. 2025.
The prestigious "Hurter-Amman" Collection of Ancient and World Gold and Silver Coins and Medals
Spinks own description reads as follows, with no mention of cleaning.
a couple of minor contact marks, otherwise with a handsome blue tone atop speckled grey-silver surfaces, with a flashy lustre. Extremely fine
