This is a rather interesting coin in that the lettering is very sharp, yet the wreath on the reverse and the bust on the obverse seem to be rather weakly struck. So how would you grade this one?

At first I wanted to call it Fine, but then I found this one for comparison:

It appears that weak strikes on the wreath and bust are not limited to your coin. I'd call yours VF.

snowman- Thanks for the input. It does seem that a lot of coins minted in England for the colonies or smaller nations tended to not be of the highest quality.

The bust does look like a weak strike, I'd grade it VF also.
