1. Very Good. On first look appears to be Near Mint but has a bruise to the left side of the cross pinch (approximately 10 x 10 mm), with a smaller surface bruise below this. Also there is a chip on the bottom of the C of Co and a similar chip to the bottom of the last G of Geelong. Other than these marks there is just some light haze and minor scuffs/scratches. The embossing generally is strong and highly detailed. Still a great looking bottle. (7.3) 2. Good. Almost Very Good but the scuffs and scratches just appear a bit deep for that grade. There is a little 7 x 4 mm milky fracture inside the back lip. Surface as we've said is scratched and scuffed with dullness throughout. There is a 3 x 2 mm impact mark near the cross pinch on the right hand side. Also a bit of a rough 6 x 2 mm scrape to the top of the front lip. Overall this is a solid enough bottle but needs some work to bring out its best. (6.8). Grade: N/A Estimate: $100 - 120
