Ticks in left obverse field hold it to 63; I see no wear at all personally.

Is that a die crack through the crown? Looks like au55 to ms60 to me.

Many thanks all. I'll call it an AU-55 as a consensus average. Good spot pginrh - that is a die crack that starts at the Union Jack runs through the crown all the way to the fleur de lis. Doesn't show up very well in the pics. Makes me love this coin even more.

Just an update - the crack is actually a die clash "die clash on reverse #1186" according to Coins and Canada. Can you confirm this as the correct designation pgrinh? Thanks in advance.
Love my coin with new ardor.

Pretty sure that this is the die crack that Hans Zoell catalogued as variety FL444n. In its later die state it does spread to the rim on the left. It is not a die clash. Looking at my earlier die state coin and it matches yours.

Looking more closely at the reverse photo above, besides the Zoell catalogued die crack through the crown, there is evidence of a die clash as can be seen between the shield and the lion's pennant pole to the left of the harp in the shield.

Is it possible to have both those varieties on the same coin?

Yes. Quite often you will see clashmarks with other varieties.
