Still have to go with surface luster for a estimate so I'll guess 35 with little or no luster, a 40 with average or good luster, and a 45 with excellent luster. My guess is XF40 off these images.
The rim ding doesn't appear severe enough for a details grade but might cost it 5 points leaving it as a VF35.
My gut feeling was that it would make "40" ... and that's why I bought it. I paid 100 euros for it.
The value jumps 300 percent from VF to EF. Every specimen on ebay that's touted as EF40 ... is grossly overgraded. There's a real nice AU details specimen, but it's got serious surface issues. At first glance it looks like a proof ... but what looks "frosted" is pvc etching in my opinion. It's way up there in price, and has been on ebay for a year or more.
