Hi,

Much larger images are required to grade that coin. It's somewhere between aVF and gEF.

G'day, I think that grading is an over-technical activity, and when taken to extremes, it is positively unhelpful.
I think your coin is beautiful:
obv. - 6 out of 8 pearls can be seen;
rev. - every letter of ADVANCE AUSTRALIA is readable.
So, you're 2 pearls short of uncirculated.
You'll have to pay a lot, if you find any better.
Notes: 1916 was the first year that silver coins were produced at Melbourne mint. 5.141m shillings were minted, and they used 92.5% silver back then. Vast numbers of Australian soldiers were training in England, rebuilding the Army after the losses of 1915. In 1916, these troops started moving into France & Flanders.
If you're not happy with your coin, you can repatriate it to me, and I'll mind it ...

Good looking coin! If you get a chance, give us some larger images to study.
