Picked this up at my LCS.

I would grade this somewhere between VF and XF
What do you think.

I think you mean VF and XF since EF and XF are the same think. I'm not too familiar with lowball commemorative. I think it makes VF-20 tops.

I see too much wear on the coin to consider it an XF piece. VF seems much more appropriate.

Concur with a grade in the VF range. Nice piece of USA coinage history.

Do you think $15.00 was too much? I am happy with it.

I say if you're happy with what you bought, you did well. A great early commemorative with nice eye appeal. Plus $15 is comparable to a worn, common Barber half, and you got something much better.

I am happy with what I got, I didn't bother looking up prices before I got it.

15 bucks don't sweat it. Plus what's not to like with a coin with nice honest wear.

Lower VF. Looks like it has seen some good honest circulation during its time.
