enworb Pillar of the Community Australia 4411 Posts	Posted 09/01/2012 01:28 am The reverse looks quite a bit better than the obverse. I wold say aEF as there is quite a bit of wear around the hair on the obverse. Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 09/01/2012 01:31 am I would agree. These are somewhat lightly struck on the obverse, probably due to wartime demands. Nice rims. I look for hair definition above the King's ear. Lack of it can be due to light striking pressure, slightly worn obverse die, or very slight wear. Hard to say, because the mint lustre is almost always gone from these high points at EF. Nice coin. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinManTim Valued Member Australia 318 Posts	Posted 09/01/2012 02:12 am Ah well, kinda wished you had said aUNC to be honest. It was sold as UNC, in my head I always put it down a grade. The aEF has made me :( but either way, another semi-difficult shilling added to the collection! Report this Post to the Staff
