Canada-5c-1953---Which-Variety---Specimen-1-Of-2-? Canada-5c-1953---Which-Variety---Specimen-1-Of-2-?

I think this is the strap (NSF) near leaf with single water line variety - is this correct, please ?
The reverse die seems slightly misaligned.

I was wondering what grade to give it ?
The photo doesn't show the detail fully, I tried loading onto Picasa but that was worse. Any other ideas - a resolution of 1200 comes out about 570K per side.

I think the photos are likely really bad because I see lots of detail and maybe even some lustre... thinking AU, but you need better photos.

Appears to be single waterline.
Is this a result of overpolishing similar to missing waterlines on silver dollars?

I had tentatively graded it AU and I do need better photos; though even my scans at 660Kb are better than what I've posted.

Is single waterline worth more than the normal ?
