It doesn't appear to be worn so as long as the colour is original and it hasn't been cleaned, it'll slab MS.

So appleangel07 would you slab it though an agent in Austrlia or send it to a third party grader directly yourself?

I'd probably just go through an agent here as I would only be getting 10 or 15 coins slabbed each time,i do have a lot of coins i'd like to send but have'nt got the lump sum of money sitting around so would have to do it over a fair period of time.

I don't like the colour shift on the eyebrow and cheek so I'm going to say it might not be UNC.

Here is a couple pics under my light set up,i think the eye & cheek are just friction/rub but I could be wrong. LOL The colour is very even right over the whole coin orange/red,in these pics it looks a little blochy.   |

MS63RB in my opinion, nice coin, may get an RD grade (but it's hard to tell unless you are looking at the coin in person and move it against different amounts of light).

Looks better in that photo Apple, probably an MS coin based on those images.

I am not an expert on these types of coins but I do not see anything that looks like wear on the coin so my opinion is that I see nothing that would keep it out of a MS slab

I always look for luster differences between the open field surfaces and the surfaces between letters and numbers around the periphery of the coin. If the open areas look darker or duller that usually indicates friction from brief circulation. I see this effect on this coin, particularly in the obverse field in front of the portrait and on the reverse above the kangaroo. The discoloration on George's cheek and eyebrow also looks like the result of light wear.
It's a minority opinion but I vote AU-58, Red.
