EF (British grading) Wear on the King's sideburn and orb at the top of the crown. Lustre not visible in this picture.

The reverse is always difficult to accurately grade in higher condition with this design, because all of the many high points are of the same height above the field.

Used to be fairly common in dealers' junk boxes decades ago; you never see them now.

Maybe for 5 Cents, but in AU I've found some 10 Cents in those, though all copper-nickel.

I've found even more of those here in Sweden, and all this is recently.

I agree that the copper nickel versions still turn up reasonably frequently.

I would grade this at EF-45, agree on sideburn and orb as wear points, used to find regularly in poundage lots with George VI and Elizabeth II in higher grades.

Not so much anymore.
