Okay maybe a bit harsh but aUnc at best for me. The marks on the reverse, the "5" and back of roo, are the kicker for me.

NOTE: I know bugger all about grading and as such my grade can be up to 7 grades from correct.
I'm still learning though.

gEF for me. The 59y is slightly harder than some QE2 dates but isn't that hard to find with full lustre. This coin only has a little bit of lustre, a reverse rim nick and some wear. Still a nice coin but not UNC.

You can see a bit of wear on the kangaroos cheek so probably EF at a guess
