    My very uneducated guess would be XF. I can't tell much by those scans. I can't tell if it's been cleaned, either.

    IMHO, Grading can most be judged by the amount of detail on the harp designs as well as the number of full 'dots' at the bottom ends of the harp strings.

    For Irish coins I use the following site quite a bit:
    grading images of irish coins

    associated grading scale

    I would say XF-45 based on the scans, but as you said the scans are not as good as the coin so the grade may be higher.
