There's a nice clear pic of the obverse of this one, which is what we need - and again, "good" has a technical definition, which translates to "really terrible"; the catalogue only gives prices down to Very Good.

Australian George V coins are the easiest to grade, because the portrait is high relief with lots of intricate details which wear away at predictable rates. ANDA (the Australian coin dealer's association) has written a grading guide (click this link to download a PDF from their site) for George V coinage; by this, your coin is graded Fine. It's also nice and green-free. CV $7.

Don't put it back in a jar with the "greenies". The green stuff, known as bronze disease, can be contagious under the right (or wrong) circumstances.
Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis

Yes mate I appreciate what your saying here, in the future if I feel that a coin I have is in my opinion "good" I will say "fine" then if needed it can be knocked back to scrap or a filler for someone.

Ahh thats exactly what I have done..silly me.

Talking of the greenies......Are these completley worthless and just scrap value.

cheers for all your time and help mate
