VG+/F- overall. Possibly a solid F for the obverse.
NGC puts retail price of a VF20 at $275. I found a VF Details that recently sold on eBay for $224, and one that looks closer in condition to yours that recently sold for $45.
Caveat: I'm not an expert by any stretch! Just getting some grading practice in. :)
This is the argument I have been having with myself. I think the obverse makes Fine, but the reverse drags the coin down. I only paid 50 cents for it, so I can not complain.

UK prices would be around £10 mark, I have seen the same grade sell from just over £2 + £1 postage and up to £10
Hi Tony,
Thanks. I wish I could call it VF, but it isn't close......
I would call this a decent F overall. The ear on the modified effigy tended to wear faster than on the original effigy, so this degree of wear is appropriate for F.
I have been looking at my 1926 GB Penny, and I am still wondering whether it is a Modified Effigy (ME) or not!
Right now I am still working on my database (excel) with 27 K coins so far, and about another 13 K to go. It is a lot of work, but I love numbers, so it's productive too!
