Excellent. The back has a burst bubble that has some dirt in it. The actual opening to the bubble is about 2 x 2 mm. There is a very small 1 x 1 mm impact mark around from this. A couple of other surfaced bubbles around from manufacture including one on the front that is 9 x 5 mm and has some dust around the edges. A handful of small flakes and minor chips off the ground lips as you would expect. Metal caps are in great order. Some grime and dust in the threads and around the embossing. Superb early piece which is quite rare. Grade: 8.7 Estimate: $200 - 250
