Looks like it could be UNC but with a weak reverse. Maybe.
It's a comparatively low mintage too. I have a 2007 guide that gives the UNC price as $350 NZD.

i was wondering about the cleaned... definately has an orange "glow" to it.
if it was cleaned it was some time ago and its re-toned since then.

maybe I wont replace my '40 with it...

i know it aint auzzie, but its right next door, figured you guys down below would have a better idea than the general forum.

here's the '40 (quick snapshot through 2x2)

genuine color compared to the 1941. and now that I have both of them side by side the differences are black and white.

thanks guys

The 1940 is much nicer IMO. It has a really nice gloss to it and good detail. Its probably gEF. 1940 is also the first year so if youre building a little type set I think it is a fittingyear to have.

Wade,
I struggle to spend USD $2.25 for ANYTHING!
A quart of milk costs about that.
Two candy bars, max.
Really, coins are STILL a bargain!

Wade, your Newfoundland .50 cents is probably worth $15.00 at least so, I'd say you got a real bargain.

Sorry.. my mistake (need new glasses).. I thought the 2x2 said Newfoundland but, said New Zealand.

Close though.. It had NEW in It.
