stevo1962 Pillar of the Community Australia 908 Posts	Posted 02/05/2014 10:51 pm Bought this one today as EF but I think its closer to aUNC which would double its value - any opinions would be welcome Report this Post to the Staff

Nic O New Member United States 20 Posts	Posted 02/06/2014 12:07 am Definitely looks AU to me. Nice find! Report this Post to the Staff
coinsaus Valued Member Australia 315 Posts	Posted 02/06/2014 12:48 am It is higher than EF but I wouldn't go all the way and say AU as it shows weakness or wear in some area's. I would be happy to rate it as gEF which will still raise its value Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 02/06/2014 01:44 am Au Sheldon may be OK, but it is not quite Unc. Where the rays on the star intersect the high point is a bit blunt. The high points around eye areas of both animals are a little flat. Emu's feathers are quite sharp on an Unc. example. Unc is a very tough very scarce grade for Blakemore reverses.

oh my florin Pillar of the Community Australia 1006 Posts	Posted 02/06/2014 04:12 am Nice pickup there stevo I agree with you it is closer to aUNC than EF in my opinion as the 7th and 8th pearl are separated and distinct, the star is well struck, emu well feathered and the kangaroo looks as it should and the shield itself is struck up decently (little shields on the corners with the line distinct.) Rims look all good and apart from a small nick on the top left of the obverse with a few crushed denticles opposite still very much within the grading and having seen significantly worse than that in terms of rim nicks. A safe bet of gEF tho aUNC is still very much possible for me. Report this Post to the Staff
stevo1962 Pillar of the Community Australia 908 Posts	Posted 02/06/2014 05:18 am Thanks OMF you are the first person to agree with me but sending it to PCGS will confirm it one way or the other Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 02/06/2014 8:40 pm I think that OMF has it right. Report this Post to the Staff
enoilgam Valued Member Australia 243 Posts	Posted 02/18/2014 03:36 am I'd call this gEF/aUNC - I think the reverse is definitely aUNC, but there is a little too much wear/dullness on the King's beard/regalia to call the obverse aUNC. Report this Post to the Staff
