    The enamel on this order is incredible. It looks like it just came out of the mint! :love:

    Actually it has little enamel damage on the tip of left lower star's ray. This enamel chip is superficial, maybe half distance to the metal. It is visible on the scan.

    But this was the best condition I could find...
