What would you grade this? My camera picks up every detail...there is more luster than this photo shows.
Thanks for your help!

Nice strong strike,very little wear on the emu feathers and grass.
Nice detail in the hair, no scratches in the fields or rim dings.

I agree with the grading.

I have noticed that the effigy of George V1 always seems to be a bit weak. You need to go to a British proof to appreciate all of the detail that should be there.

1942 Melbourne threepences are notorious for this.

Thanks for your grades! I've always found KGVI harder to grade than KGV.
You're right about the 1942(m) 3d. The obverse on mine looks far worse than the reverse.

I agree with sel , it is uncommon to get a strike as good as the Brit coins.
This is the obverse of a 1951 crown, this is just a normal strike coin, The proofs are amazing in the amount of detail on them
