EF or aUNC that is the question.I cant work it out because it depends
on the quality of the strike and I'm at a loss.Any opinions?Sorry about the photos

Ok I'll be first cab off the rank as it's the only way I'll learn and I'll say EF but close to a UNC as there are a few marks here and there and the star doesn't seem to have a nice point but it looks pretty good :good: and I'd gladly have it :)
Keep in mind stevo I have no idea mate :winkextra:

All opinions appreciated AJ
Not a weak strike in my opinion, All the denticals are nicely formed.
Has a fair bit of rim damage and some wear on the high points on the reverse.
The obverse is fairly baggy as well.
not much lustre remaining.
The big issue is it appears to be cleaned in my rheumy old eyes.
EF details is what I would call this at mate.
Still makes this about a $200-$300 coin tho Mate :good:
School is in for AJ and me.

That makes sense, seems fair enough.
"a fair bit of rim damage" that seems apparent as well.
"The obverse is fairly baggy as well." Or just enough circulation to make it EF? Hang on a sec, that was the OP question. :huh: How about gEF?
KGV threepences aren't exact scale models of florins are they?
nah a wee bit smaller than a florin :) and I'm learning so it's all good :good:
Yeah it had me with the good detail around the aminals but then the star doesn't look so good..yes I know it's a hight point so wears first :) and still to work out cleaned :(
and I'll go with Bob and change to a gEF :)
Looks original and PCGS AU55 I reckon.
That's not wear on the feathers - its just the strike.
1915s often get under-graded because of this.
cool, thanks echi :good: another fifty years and I might know a thing or two :)

I forgot to mention about the 'cleaned' comment by trout. I'm with you AJ, unless its done by Peter Wallace I just can't pick them.

The remaining detritus in the lettering, the lack of lustre except in the devices and near the rim and the many minor scratches/abrasions just scream out "Cleaned " to me.
Walter or Markn will chime in when they finish their respective "Nanna Naps" and either slap me silly or will agree, either way that is my "Honest" opinion and I don't think anyone wants a BS opinion :ok:
I don't think anyone wants a BS opinion

Good avatar Mate, I love the way you hid the pot handle behind your head :laugh2::laugh2::laugh2:
:laugh2: :laugh2: :laugh2:
I won't mention the last pic you put up, so I take it you haven't been told today :mocking: I would have thought the missus would tell you ever morning :laugh2: :laugh2:
mate I don't know why people back off and look at me as if I'm a crim :laugh2: it really is funny how people look at me different in summer when I don't wear a beanie, their hole attitue changes..but I do like a stir so it's all good :)
QuoteThe remaining detritus in the lettering
I noticed that but saw it differently. I thought the grime would build up among the lettering first and spread out from there and in this case the coin never got to the point where anyone thought it needed a clean. I'm quite lilely to be wrong but that was my first impression.
No caca del toro! :drinks:

Yes you are exactly right Bob this coin is uncleaned but does have a few marks on the obverse

It's OK Jim the photos don't really show the coin off too well.These little buggers are so hard to capture and my Samsung S4 phone camera might be 13 mp but getting it to focus is another issue .
I value everybodies opinion so keep calling it as you see it

Thanks Mate:friends:
SO I am not an "Orphan" when it comes to taking bad pic's :wavemulticolor:
no mate never alone, there's heaps of us :)
I am too old and blind to take a photo with my phone, hence my camera is with me most of the time.!!!
I'm not game to ask where you keep it :-/
:laughingneqw: Mrs. Robster usually ends up being my "Camera Bag". ;)
oh that's nice that is..I'm not going there mate, ya on ya own rocketman as I can get in enough trouble by my self without any encouragement from you thank you very much :winkextra: :laugh2:
Echidna was spot on with this one

Gee your getting quite the stable going there mate and yes there's some here that are really good at grading and I am getting better just taking me ages to get it to sink into my think head ;) But I would be happy grading a little low and getting an AU grade back but thought it could go either way as still trying to work out what pcgs like and don't as they don't seem to like our toned coppers like purple for some reason that I think look quite pretty but that's just me :winkextra:
