I suggest to cross it over and ask for conservation. Downgrade be damned. It would be much worse if the verdigris continues to spread and completely ruins a great coin.
Looking at the in-hand photos, I have to bump my grade estimate to EF-45. I think ANACS got it right. I'm surprised by the luster. The seller's pics didn't show that!
Just a thought, but what if you sent it back to ANACS to be conserved and reholdered? Would a conserved EF-45 be easier to cross over? There's always the downside risk of damage during conservation, though.
Personally, I couldn't get past the reverse. Not a fan. You're pics are definitely better than the sellers, sellers pics make it look far worse than it apparently is. I'd also agree with XF45.
