Very nice portrait, well centered but with flatness on reverse. This was an early purchase of mine when I was on vacation in Germany and coin shops still existed. A typical beginner collecting error to consider only the obverse and pay less attention to the reverse, but portrait is quite nice, so I have never considered selling this. VF with flatness on reverse.
