Looks like it could be UNC but with a weak reverse. Maybe. It's a comparatively low mintage too. I have a 2007 guide that gives the UNC price as $350 NZD.

i was wondering about the cleaned... definately has an orange "glow" to it. if it was cleaned it was some time ago and its re-toned since then.
maybe I wont replace my '40 with it...
i know it aint auzzie, but its right next door, figured you guys down below would have a better idea than the general forum.

If youre 40 has genuine lustre then I would keep that one

The 1940 is much nicer IMO. It has a really nice gloss to it and good detail. Its probably gEF. 1940 is also the first year so if youre building a little type set I think it is a fittingyear to have.

Wade, I struggle to spend USD $2.25 for ANYTHING! A quart of milk costs about that. Two candy bars, max. Really, coins are STILL a bargain!

Wade, your Newfoundland .50 cents is probably worth $15.00 at least so, I'd say you got a real bargain.  Sorry.. my mistake  (need new glasses).. I thought the 2x2 said Newfoundland but, said New Zealand.  Close though.. It had NEW in It.

Not bad face value probably worth more than that
