    EF or better. These rarely come in any lower grade than EF since they did not circulate in the UK.

    Check the eyebrow area first, followed by the cheek. The scan will be insufficient to detect it.

    If you want an UNC, better to wait for a BUFL. In spite of the low mintage, they are common in the US.
