Value assessment:
– Collectible value: The Chesterfield 101 edition is considerably rarer than the standard Chesterfield variants. It is prized by collectors for its unique packaging theme (a yacht at sunset), limited production, and the survival of the original coupon.
– Condition assessment: very good – the package is unopened, the cellophane is original, the colors are bright, the surface is preserved without major defects.
– Historical data and popularity: „Chesterfield is one of the oldest cigarette brands in the United States (founded in the 19th century), known for its image of quality and reliability. This particular model was aimed at the premium consumer segment, so its production was short-lived.
