Thanks everyone, my initial thought was XF45, might have been a bit optimistic. Will see what the PCGS overlords think and will post the results :)

Can we ask where you purchased it given that you are in AUS? Are you a U.S. expat down under?

Sure can! Was purchased from a collector online, will still be in the ebay records. Not an American but I do like your coins! Funny what turns up and what collectors have stashed away. |

I like the darker, circ cameo toning and it is XF-45 details, but there is the problem/hit under LIBERTY and a few rim nicks.
The darker toning will get XF 40 max at PCGS, especially with it being a key date. PCGS and I never saw eye to eye on original surfaces - they will reward light cleanings and sometimes downright bright chrome finishes on coins with F-VF details.
I like it alot, even the dirt on her upper lip

You got a nice 2500-3500 coin there. Nice score.

Thanks for the follow up. That's a sweet coin indeed and condition-rare! Quote:
...The darker toning will get XF 40 max at PCGS... Hmm. who said that?  Some things never change at PCGS, but mid grade Barber half nuts buy the coin, not the holder. Do you have a set in the registry? |

Yeah well called two_toney. The coin will go to market, I'm not a bit collector of half dollars, this one just came up for sale and I grabbed it. Much better served in a real enthusiast's collection than mine!
