Anyone wants to take a stab at this one? (warning: World Coin!)

This one has been already graded by PCGS, but would like to hear YOUR opinion. And I'll try to give mine after the fact Please mention your reasons for grading it what you did, as well.

Going by mint luster, it should grade at least AU-50 by U.S. standards. I think European standards would suggest a "very fine" grade.

I'll just fire my first thought out - EF-45. I really don't know the wear/strike characteristics of these, but that looks like a really nice coin.

Thanks for the responses, guys. PCGS gave it VF30, most likely due to off-centre strike and planchet defects. In terms of detail, I would definitely call it an XF45. Small mention that it's a variety (no dot before HISPAN on the reverse), but none of the services attribute minor varieties for these at this time.

 

I just love the old toning on this one. It's starting to become harder and harder to find nice, un-messed with pieces from that era.
