Looks like a low grade UNC.
My guess is MS61 or 62
Watch your top knot

Uncirculated with hairlines..If there's such a thing...If there is no wear on the high points but hairline scratches in the field I would grade as 58+..Who knows what PCGS/NGC would grade it as. Maybe Genuine/Hairlines?

With all the friction on the high points I think it only makes AU-58. Still nice.

AU to virtually UNC(British/Australian Grading)
Good overall lustre, nice detail, appears UNC, closer examination shows lightest wear on Kangaroos Spine, the emu's face and the tips of the shield, also high point of George. Notice the 2 sets of pearls either side of the middle diamond in the crown. In very high AU coins like this, these are all clear, but edges will show slight fuzziness,

From American Grading POV it is an AU...I'll say AU58.

Surface wear on the high points almost always shows up first on the feathers of the emu (rev), and high points on the mustache, beard and eyebrow of the King (obv).
I can't see any.
Nice luster.
The obvious scratches in the field on the reverse will bring the grade down to
MS-62 or 3.

True sel_69...I was looking at the king's shoulder...could that just be discoloration then?

Had a close look at the King's shoulder, I think that this area OK for no wear.

MS62. Worryingly to me is the rim, could be the lighting/camera but is there a hint of finning on the rims? It seems that for some reason a number of 1928 in UNC have been through auctions these past few years. Probably just a sign that they are a relatively common date (and my paranoia) but with the number of fake shillings of multiple dates that PCGS graded 2-3 years ago I'm always concerned about those expert fakers perfecting their craft.

Finning on the rims OK for genuine.
I have about a dozen or so 1927 Canberras that show this feature, (struck very slightly off centre, but still within the collar),
and I have no doubt at all they are all genuine. All well struck (except for the steps, which can vary), weight the same, ping tone the same.
You may wish to check the pictured coin for comparative ping tone, but I have no doubt that it will be the same as any other Florin of George V.
