2. Recommended Accessories (Not Included)

To handle and showcase this coin safely without compromising its surface quality, collectors typically utilize:

• 2x2 Archival Flips or Capsules: Storing the coin in an acid-free, airtight plastic capsule shields the copper-nickel alloy from environmental moisture and humidity.

• Cotton Numismatic Gloves: Always handle the coin by its outer edges using soft, lint-free cotton gloves to prevent skin oils from leaving permanent marks or reacting with the metal.

• Floating 3D Frame or Acrylic Easel: A double-sided floating membrane frame or miniature stand allows you to proudly display both the striking monument design and the official state crest simultaneously.

• Magnifying Loupe (5x–10x): Recommended for inspecting the fine design details on the soldier’s uniform, the facial features, and the edge lettering text.

Condition & Visual Inspection Report

• Condition: Vintage / Circulated / Authentic.

• Obverse Inspection: As shown in Image, the central state crest and lettering are cleanly defined. The fields display a deep, natural dark patina and spotting, characteristic of a raw, uncleaned coin that has naturally aged over the decades.

• Reverse Inspection: As visible in Image, the central figure of the Soldier-Liberator monument stands out prominently in raised relief. The surrounding text is fully legible, accompanied by scattered handling scuffs and tiny surface specks consistent with its historical circulation.

Please review the high-resolution images carefully to evaluate the exact cosmetic and physical condition of the coin.
