Dear Friends, Got this nice 1838 Half Dime and wanted your kind opinion on potential grade it will make with NGC as I am planning to submit it soon. I am thinking XF-AU50. Please check and pass on your judgement! As Always, Appreciate your inputs! Thanks!

Your pictures are too small and won't enlarge, but what I can make out looks to be cleaned as well.

Probably EF details, cleaned but need larger and more detailed pictures to assess.

Here are some better pictures. I do believe it is EF but not sure if it's cleaned though. Just a bit concerned on the uneven marks on the reverse. The hairlines in the obverse may not be from cleaning is what I feel... Thanks for all your valuable inputs. I am loving this forum.

All the hairlines caught by the lighting in the first photos indicate an old cleaning.
