Picked this up from the Australian ebay for not very much at all. What do people more learned than I grade it?

markn,

Definitely AU, but I can't put a number down without a closer look. This coin shows wear first on the sails on the reverse. Check the fabric seams on the sails. If no wear is evident or very light it could be an AU-58. Still a beautiful addition to a collection. Congrats.

Love that toning! I'm with the consensus on the AU grade.

CN Values I've seen from $15 to $20 for that grade but my guess is on the higher end because of the toning.
