Yeah it looks stronger in those pics, its also that the light in your pic hid the detail on the top of the cap...made it look more worn than it is. I would grade it VF-30 for detail (held back a little by the reverse) based on the new pics for sure; it may have gotten a bump for outstanding surfaces.
Before looking at the slab, I would have called it VF25. I think you are correct about the pics, your photo makes the bustline appear more worn that it really is.
