A really nice coin, but very high magnification brings out all of the minor problems.
Admittedly the high magnification is so high that is perhaps a little unfair.
Having stated that, the viewer has the advantage that one can see two dents on the King's jaw, and a little weakness of strike at the emu's shoulder and a few other minor dents.
Coins are normally graded using 10X only. The higher magnification to screen in this case is around 25 to 30X.

Never purchased from the UK. How long does it usually take? It cost 9 pounds which is quite a bit considering its only one coin.
