The reverse is much nicer IMO. I would put it gVF-aEF and the obverse looks aVF-VF to me and possibly cleaned. It might get AU50 or high XF but I'm not expert.

The fine marks visible under light look like rub marks from a cloth to me, especially since their absence behind the legend where there appears to be some of it's original lustre remaining. Yeah, give it a quick rub, it will bring it up ...... Nnnnnnoooooooooooo  .... bet whoever did it regretted it. |

Don't worry, wasn't suggesting a negative by the presence of a few rub marks, was just suggesting a simple rub as a alternative source of the fine marks as opposed to it having been cleaned. I'd Ãmagine that most of the ones visible under the magnification and light would not be to the naked eye anyway. I've never had a 32, not even a filler, (just a gap), so I'd be pretty chuffed with it too!  |

If I was selling it I'd call it aEF as it still has a lot of detail
