Neither of the coins being compared have known weaker strike issues, so these are good coins to compare. The later die state on the original coin does not affect the appearance of wear since, generally, the later die state will be more evidenced by additional cracks and lumps on the coin rather than weaker strike.
I see this coin as a VF25-30. I would need to have the coin in-hand to judge between these two grades as the clasp appears to be VF25 and the wing/talons appear to be VF30. This coin definitely looks superior to the original coin. The clasp is sharper (though still not warranting an EF grade, in my opinion) and the hair a lot less wear with only light wear on the higher points. The curls show more definition and the cap folds are sharper. On the reverse, the left (viewer's) wing detail is considerably sharper and about 35-40% more detail remains in the talons.
Additional info: SsuperDdave's coin appears to be an O-109 which has a rarity rating of 1 (common). The markers are:
Obverse 7: First 1 is higher and wider than 818 and 81 is closest together. The stars are large, well struck, and close to the milling. The date is 9mm and low.
Reverse G: N is higher than you or I. I is pretty far left of upright of the T. 50 C. is 1-1/2mm with the 5 0 nearly as far apart as the 0 C.
