Critique: A very lovely coin, with much cleaner portrait than the average MS64 Elizabeth II "Gillick", as they call them in England. There are certainly many higher graded examples available, but I like the looks of this one so I'm not in any hurry to replace it.
Appears to have some minor hub doubling in the date and base rock, and a very noticeable doubling in the dragon's right forearm.
