Recent pick-up...bought as EF...what do you think?
Just got Mark Goodman's book "Numismatic Photography, too, so maybe I'll be able to take a better picture of this one soon...the toning is a lot nicer in hand than in this image.
Thanks!

    Certainly better than EF. It looks AU if not UNC.

    By British Standards, it looks to be a minimum of GEF provided the coin is not hairlined. By US Standards, UNC seems quite probable if there are no hairlines

    Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

    Thanks, guys, for the affirmation.
    I kept staring at those shamrocks, asking myself "Where's the wear?"
    Meanwhile, no hairlines...fields and devices both are smooth as the proverbial baby's bottom
