This specific specimen has been awarded a perfect 10 grade by NGCX, the highest possible designation on their 10-point scale, ensuring its status as a top-tier collectible. The item is securely encapsulated in a tamper-evident holder with a distinctive black label that includes the certification number 6814031-122 and a unique tracking sticker labeled 0078.

Condition: This item is in flawless, gem mint condition, as indicated by its professional grade of 10. The protective holder ensures the preservation of its surface quality, sharp edges, and pristine visual appeal, free from any handling wear or environmental damage. Mint: The item was produced by Celebrity Mint, a specialized private mint that combines sports memorabilia with legal tender coinage. It is issued under the authority of the Cook Islands, which is the official government entity for the denomination. Metal Content: The item is composed of .9999 fine gold.
