My most recent acquired piece. I purchased this on a whim at a local flee market. I wasn’t looking for anything in particular. This just happened to be at a table and I was looking for opinions. IMO it looks like a solid AU

The pictures show some things but not everything. The coin does have the sharpness and some luster that would be indicative of an AU, but the duller spot in front of George V's is made up of tiny scratches called hairlines, that is a problem. That would show signs of cleaning which would disqualify the coin from a straight grade. If those lines show a pattern, that is not good.
