Condition Disclaimer:
This is a second‑hand product. The outer cardboard box and capsules show signs of handling and are not pristine. Images shown are of the exact collection available for purchase. Please note: although the coins are encapsulated and struck to a proof‑like finish, the protective foam used in these releases commonly causes obverse surface issues across all collections from this series.
