Pretty close to EF40 I'd go VF30 due to the pitting or roughness around the face and field in front of face. This example has really nice rim
Cuds, a later die state where the die begins to crumble. Once those
Cuds reach into the design, usually from other die cracks, pieces of the die fall out creating a void, and leaving the
Cud or chunk or blob of metal. When this happens it cost big money for them.
Here is an
ebay auction currently on that has a great advanced rim
Cud. It's grade is only Good and the price? $295.00.

Note I have no interest in this auction, just posted as an excellent example.
