That's a nice key coin!
I have a complete date & mint mark set but cannot give a grade.
I'm sure DBM knows his stuff, I would have guessed higher but I am not much of a Canadian coin grader.
Very nice!

I'd say AU-50, beautiful example.

Wonderful coin!

Your coin has solid detail on the third and fourth clusters of laurel leaves, lower braid, and lower curl of the top knot. The eyebrow is crisp. The lower curls have solid detail. Wear on the hair at the ear is AU level, and the ear lobe is solid. I'm on the bubble between AU-53 and AU-55 here.

I don't see evidence of cleaning, but that can be tricky to spot in photographs. The contact marks by the eye are the only distraction.

Again, fantastic coin.

Gorgeous coin! I do not see any cleaning. You can still trace luster and I am at EF45 only because of the wear on queens hair and slightly on the eyebrow. The die cracks look really nice. Lots of detail with very nice eye appeal. Original

I think AU 50 as well. I don't see anything that shows it was cleaned .. maybe have to see it in-hand.
