I assume that you are referring to traditional rather than numerical grading in which case it is centered "Fine" with several short perforations. Of course it can be subjective and somebody else may call it "Fine-Very Fine" and an ebay seller will call it "Superb!!!".
I agree: short perfs are a defective stamp for purists (except for very high valued and rare stamps); especily when you want to sell them; it better be mentioned as having short perfs..
An amusing thing about philately is that what seems like the simplest question will never get a single clear cut answer with a consensus. One thing we can do is beat things to within an inch of their life and even to death and back. I love it!
