Nice coin! It looks like it still has some tinges of luster in the protected areas. I will go XF-40.

VF35. Nice coin! My 1857 was graded XF40 by PCGS, and I agree with their grade:   swcoin.ecrater.com

How does one distinguish between the large letter and small letter varieties?
Which one is this coin and is one more valuable compared to the other?

Looks VF-20 cleaned to me.
You have the large letter variety. You can see that the bottom of the letters A and M of America are attached. The large letters variety is a bit more scarce, but not by enough to affect the value much. Large letter variety is only about $5 more than small letter variety.

I think VF35 is a good grade. There is some wear on the Chest, and wing. The tail feathers with Thigh does not show a lot of wear vs a VF, but I think they show enough to prevent it going EF40.
The bow on the reverse is worn mostly smooth aws are some of the leaves.

I agree with High VF or low XF.

VF+ with issues, looks overdipped, polished, or something

Could just be the photo but just going off the pics, does appear to have been lightly cleaned.

I think it's a solid XF-40, but cleaned.

IMO the obverse is at better grade than the reverse: EF-40/VF-30.

I think I am old school where, AU is trace of wear on high points, XF light wear on high points
and VF is wear on high point of the coin.
Nice coin but I think think this coin is in the VF range.
