Condition report:
The collection shows varying states of preservation. The uncirculated and commemorative sets appear to be in good, uncirculated condition with minimal handling marks visible (photo 1). The loose coinage exhibits signs of circulation, including surface scratches, edge knocks, and natural toning throughout (photo 4). The internal silk linings of several presentation boxes show significant foxing and brown staining (photos 1 and 4).
