Surfaces are very "busy" with many small marks. There may also be hairline scratches from cleaning but details aren't clear enough to be sure. There appears to be a planchet defect between stars 11 and 12 which left a shallow void in the surface. It could also be a dent.
Detail-wise it easily makes EF-45 and could go AU-50 IMO. However, the surfaces would bother me and I would want a nicer one for my collection. The 1875-S is readily available in all grades so unless this coin is bargain-priced I'd hold out for a more attractive example.
