It's a typically soft Edward strike. The key is the center band in the crown. The pearls are blurred together. The jewels on the lower band are weak. The luster is mostly confined to the letters of the legend and a few protected areas. There is disturbance of the luster on the devices and in the fields. By appearance, this is EF-40. IMHO, with the adjustment for the soft strike, it may go EF-45.

Bang on. I'd expect ICCS to go EF, and PCGS to call it AU.

Yup. EF for ICCS and AU for the other tgp's. It's a bit of a weak strike, but still a very nice coin.
