I went to ebay to look for BU examples and found one (not stated as BU) with a strong die clash on reverse, possibly on obverse as well,,,

Not enough original lustre left for a grade above AU50.

Circulation evidence is obvious. This is barely AU and not a premium coin.

There is no wear on the reverse, the knot on the bow and the leaf nearest the 2 are subject to wear at a very early stage, there is no evidence of such wear on this coin.
This coin has been abused but I don't believe it circulated.
"Dipping" is not considered cleaning...

Beauty is in the eye ocfthe camera lens, perhaps it is the photograph which is producing such varied grades.

BTW I bought the die clash (yes with the gouge on the face) I linked earlier. Seller accepted a $15 offer.

Don't think so given peripheral toning. Just wear?

Poster states toning is from lighting. I think a better pic is in order.

No definition in the moustache and beard.

Australian coins have an identical De Saulles bust on their coins for 1910, so I have seen the the threepence sixpence shilling and florin graded in auction catalogs for many decades.
MS examples always show much better definition in the beard moustache and eyebrow that this coin does.
