There is still a bit of lustre between the letters wich is not visible on the picture. Is VF+ would be fair for this one?

I'm no expert, but looks like too much wear on the eagles feathers for VF. I would have thought maybe F.
Interested to see what the experts say.

Nice coin either way.

Pretty sure this coin is VF by the Scandinavian grading method, so probably around XF in US I will say. I have never seen any coin under VF with lustre.

Aluminum German pieces seem to hold onto their luster for some reason... This piece would be a solid XF- I'm guessing the breast feathers are a bit more defined in hand

jdmdern: I have noticed that as well.
I think that they were made from a high silicon Al alloy. That makes them a lot harder, and more deep scratch resistant. It also may have helped them to retain luster better, and appear more silvery looking.

You are right the belly feathers triangle are still visible but weak.

I would call this an XF.
