I generally stink at grading these, but... I would grade it VF (I think a higher VF, maybe 30/35) but do not think it makes XF (Unless the light is drowning out some details on the large jewels atop the diadem)
Genuine. Environmental damage. Looks like some gunk on the E in "CENT," a black pen mark below her chin, and some small spots of gunk elsewhere on the Obv.
XF-40/45 but with remarks about possible environmental damage (PVC green on the Obv). It also has the typical Vicky crud/gunk on it that's found on most circulated, uncleaned coins. It's a 'fat 4' as well, so it has a 2X premium over a normal 4 and trends at $75 in XF.

No environmental damage just a little dirt behind e, black line is hardly noticeable in person. Plus it has some nice clashing if you like that
