Looks EF-40 Cleaned with a pad/brush a while back and toned back to present state.
Edit: I should say old cleaning.

It's a little scratched but it's still got some life. I'll agree the detail is good enough to make EF.

I'm sure there are some nitpicking collectors who would reject that coin for the scratches, which are also signs of cleaning. But the coin is 83 years old and it still has some surface luster to it, and, overall, that makes it OK by me. Just remember, look at the coin, and forget about the labels. |

XF, most likely lightly brushed with a cloth at some point, but reverse shows it didn't remove all the original luster.
