Looks VF for sure. I'd grade it VF20 and maybe VF25 on a good day. It doesn't look VF30 to me and I'm no help on attribution either. If this were a particularly weak die combo perhaps someone might go VF30.

I'm buying VF20 and (understanding I don't have the book, just skill at Internet datamining) the location/orientation of the date, 10C and location of some of the reverse letters point me at JR-1 for the variety. Don't take this as gospel.

Preach David, Preach!
I was trying by going off of Reed's photo examples although using your expertise and lead, I will now scour the auction archives for any slabbed w/ attribution examples and diagnose from there.
Thank you sir and thanks to all of you for the grading thoughts. Duly noted.

Head for Heritage. It's the dropped 18, the shape of the 5, the elevated location of 10 and the low I in UNITED that made up my case.

Right on Dave!
the real diagnostic key from a write-up I just read off Stacks and then looking at all 9 known reverses, is the final "S" in STATES sits perfectly over the "S" in PLURIBUS. JR-1 is the only known variety to exhibit this.

Was just about to guess VF20 when I saw I've already guessed it and you've already postedPCGS's grade.

VF 20 at first glance, maybe I'm finally learning to do this after seeing all the agreement

Seem to have missed this thread the first time around. It looks fairly graded at VF-20. Great eye appeal and original surfaces.
