It looks polished with around EF-45 details.

I would certainly agree with AU50 details and some polishing. Carry it in your pocket for a while. XD

Detail is higher than it looked in fist pics but still would not go as high as AU....XF 45. Unfortunately agree with the polishing.

I knew when I picked it up that it had been polished. But, I couldn't resist the variety & price. Quote:
Carry it in your pocket for a while. I thought about that. But, I was worried about losing more detail. Is there another way to try and lose some of the polishing? Edited by chris12018

It should re-tone overtime. You could speed up the process by providing the right conditions though.

This looks to me to be an EF-45 details/polished example of O-101 (R1) (1811/10, punctuated 18.11). Quote:

I agree but, Moe look at the T-I relationship. Looks like the I is not centered. Maybe thats just the angle of the photo? |

The only other 18.11 die marriage (at least that I know of) is the O-102 (R4). It had the same Obverse die but a different Reverse die as O-101. The I under T in the O-102 is much farther right than the OP's reverse picture shows. Also there is an extension of the top (#1) horizontal line on the reverse shield out into the right wing. I don't see that in the OP's picture. So, I guess I'll stick with O-101 (R1) for now...  |

You need an Overton book Chris. "Early Half Dollar Die Varieties". If you get one try to find the 3rd edition. IMO
