Please consider that due to their age, coins in their original government packaging (OGP) may show some natural toning or hazing. While we take meticulous care to store these items properly, many have passed through multiple owners before reaching us. Therefore, some degree of toning, hazing, and reasonable wear on the packaging should be anticipated.
