Very seldom encountered in lustrous condition, this borne out by the LCGS Population statistics, which show this is the finest known of 6 examples thus far recorded, our auction archive stretching back to 2003 shows previously offered high grade examples of this date described as having traces of lustre or toned, therefore probably scarcer than catalogues would suggest in truly lustrous grade
