Excellent. Tiny lip mark is either a miniscule flake or tiny surface bubble. Some minor grime, a few fine fisheyes and a scuff or two to outer chamber. Embossing all over this beast, there is barely a mark to it! Maybe a fine spot of wear or two, but really great in general. Maybe a few fine scratches and a small fisheye or two. The rarer variety with all the writing to the rear, this is a superb colour and the best condition example that we have seen! A fantastic example. Grade: 8.8 Estimate: $150 - 200
