Good face, collectible condition, some grime in the devices from an old cleaning, VF 30ish. Would look good in a 7070.
Nice win!

Congratulations!
Sorry, I can't offer a grading, but it's a great looking coin I would be proud to have in my 7070!

Nice Win!

i have her at XF40. the only issue I see is the scratch on the left obv field and across the shield. due to their brightness they most likely occurred recently, otherwise the toning would be seen within them and its not

i'd pocket it for a while and see if that helps or place her on a window sill.

Just a follow-up on photo technique.

I see a recent post by a collector who took pictures of their coin in the 2X2. The photos weren't clear enough to make a decent grading judgment. This 1849 half dollar was photographed inside its 2X2 and the images are pretty clear. Just pointing out that if you control reflections and focus well enough you can get decent shots without opening the 2X2.
