I'll say EF-40, but I'm not very good on these. Almost looks cleaned.

I don't think it's cleaned, the cartwheel luster is pretty nice. I wish there was a way to post a video showcasing it

I'll say VF-30; might make EF-40.

Too much wear on the jewels to be any higher.
That is, of course, unless it's a weak strike

Looks like a weak strike, but a decent AU.

safe grade if buying vf30 rim dings could be much better in hand. Impossible to be confident either way from provided images.

I'll be submitting this one (to PCGS, I have free vouchers, I don't know if ICCS is still open), I'll update you on how it goes. I'm expecting XF-40, wouldn't be surprised if it goes VF or AU. The luster is really incredible

Without better pics or having it in hand all I can say is VF30 or better.
"Dipping" is not considered cleaning...

Since I only collect Newfoundland coins, I can only grade this the way Newfoundland coins are graded.

I don't see any luster. It is a nice coin, true, but due to the surface chatter, weak strike (weak band) and rim dings I would hold this one at VF-30. Official grading at a TGP could net a VF-AU grade, but not worth the fees imo - no TPG service is worth its salt - if they won't provide explanations for the grade and descriptions of the coin, what is the point in having someone else's opinion which may or may not be as good as my own?
