There are plenty of feathers on the emu but the star is almost flat. Detail on the obverse is very wishy washy too. I bought this coin on ebay from a member of ANDA which makes me doubt it is a fake. Anyway, your feedback would be appreciated Report this Post to the Staff

On the back of King George V coins the crown is the first part to show wear. The band around the Kings head has 8 "pearls" and depending on how many of these are still visible you get an idea to the grading of the coin. I am no expert on grading though, I just know the basics Report this Post to the Staff
