Another coin from my aunt's box.

Not finding any mention of lamination errors for this coin. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

May I squeeze in a grade request

Looks like an Improper Alloy Mix issue, or it could be a stain. https://www.error-ref.com/improper-...y%2520color.

As for the grade, maybe AU or better.

Early George V British pennies are quite often a bit streaky. Nice example of ghosting too.

On the question of grade (UK system) - there is minor wear to the hair, ear and cheekbone areas on the obverse (in my opinion EF or gVF?). The lower part of the reverse looks close to uncirculated, but the upper part shows significant wear to Britannia which in my opinion limits that area to F at best) - it appears as though someone has tried to polish off a stain or remove corrosion.
