XF40-45, I would grade the coin as gVF, obverse if EF but reverse is VF at best.

Oh dear me! I've now read the title of this thread as 'Irish Penny' at least twice. I must be dog tired.  life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved

Hi!
I got one from Bulgaria that is almost as good, cost a lot more though.
Was a long wait too.

Would have to call it aEF because the 7th/8th pearls are worn,the rest of it
looks pretty good

Obverse looks EF,i'd olive oil it to get rid of the green death if it were mine.

Id say its EF. Its well struck with very little wear and its toned nice an evenly. Very nice coin.

Thanks guys that's what I was hoping to hear.
It was a bit of a gamble buying it from someone I had never dealt with in Bulgaria but I felt I had to take the risk.
I paid $200 for this and a VF+ (perhaps even) aEF 1917 penny which I was happy with, but not exactly a steal like steve's. LOL. Probably close to the right price I think.
That seller has a lot of good coins if anyone is interested in learning who he is.
