MS64?

Nice maybe AU58-MS62 is my guess

I was worried it might only grade AU58 when I had it in hand but
it did actually grade MS something
Yeah the emu is a little worn plus the left side of the scroll, with some weakness on the bust. If it did hit the MS grades my money would be on the impaired MS range MS60-61.

I am thinking that is due to a "Soft" strike :ok:
MS62 for me !

Yeah I hear what you're saying and sometimes we seem to be chatting about everything but coins.Anyway I've given everyone who checks in during the daylight
hours today a chance to chew them over and have a guess as I've learnt some lessons from this small group of coins and I don't mind sharing the experience
This one was a surprise

Yes RG it certainly is a big improvement
I just can't get a photo of my coins to be that good
mark isn't far behind that level of spectacular photography
maybe one day I will get that good ... or my son will (fingers crossed)

It looks better than a 63. Certainly has the eye appeal!
