None of the photos are mine. the first picture showing flared I and non flared | is from http://www.coinsandcanada.comsecond photo from google search showing that an NSF has the flared I in DEI pointing between the two denticles   |

Also, that NSF variety is quite pricey, yours looks to be in F condition...probably worth around $100+ Very good find indeed

The are a few markers for the NSF, but but far the simplest method is the "I" in "DEI". It is almost exactly in line with a denticle on the SF, and almost exactly centered between two denticles in the NSF, making it a very easy variety to spot once you've studied a few. Looking at the shoulder itself is not a good way to identify, particularly on somewhat worn circulation coins (which most of them are).

That's a NSF, all right!
However the implication that H. M. the Q. is bare shouldered still does not apply.
If you look at the top of her chest area there is still some evidence of a bodice line, albeit in profile.
The innuendo that Lizzie was in the nude was the reason why the master dies were re cut, depicting a shoulder strap.
Another problem with the first master die version of the design is that her ear lobe was poorly defined.
The ear lobe shows up much better in Gillick busts for most British Commonwealth Countries after about mid 1956.
