1. Good. Large 21 x 13 mm chip to the back top which has a hairline through it, plus some other small chips and flakes to the top. Some very fine hairlines/crazing near the base that are discoloured in a couple of short stretches. Displays very well. 2. Fair. Large chip to the front base. Small chips and flakes all around the top. 105 mm hairline right down the front. 155 mm crack down the back with some short hairlines coming from the middle of it. A couple of deep scratches to the rear. Glaze flake coming from rear crack. 3. Poor. Top is great and the base is excellent with a nice print.
