Transitional Monaco (Lot 26): Condition Not Ideal

In Response To: Re: Lot 99 (Monaco 1133B, Standard) at £18,000, with Commis ()

I would also point out that some folks who inspected the Transitional Monaco (Lot 26), in the metal, were disappointed in the condition. By contrast, the Standard Monaco (Lot 99) appears to have been flawless. Seems that the true NOS / mint attracted largest premiums, whereas the Transitional may have "underperformed", because of its condition.
