    I have been given a large coin collection of an old neighbor and just going through them.
    Grading is not my strongest and appreciate any comments to guide me.

    Many thanks
    Allan

    On UK grading I would give this one "Fine". I can't confirm on US grading - probably one or two grades higher.
    The 1758 is the commonest of the George II sixpence dates.

    Ballpark would be VF30/35, in my humble estimation…Spark

    British Grade as @PaddyB USA Grade as @Spark1951 Both on the button.
    This is one I have from the year before which is AU. Same bust but you can see the details on the hair. Yours is an attractive coin.

    I concur with these opinions. Fine by British Standards, VF30-ish by American standards. Nice coin. Appears original and unmolested.
