Seems undergraded. My 1800 LIBEKTY Half Dime is in an ICG VF-30 holder and I always considered the grade to be reasonable. It looks to me like your coin should be graded a couple notches higher than mine.

I was told the weakness on the reverse of my coin was due to die damage and most examples show this effect. Interestingly, your 1805 also has somewhat similar areas of weakness on the reverse.

I see you posted the grade of PCGS VF35 and that grade does sound conservative. I would have guessed XF for sure, probably XF45.

There are a couple of factors at work on my 1805 Half Dime. It was graded almost 20 years ago, and it is in a green label PCGS holder. A fair number of green label holder coins are conservatively graded, and the green label is a selling point for some people. There is such a thing as "grade-flation."
