With the strength of the reverse I'd say VF-35. I don't know if there's enough detail on the obverse to warrant EF, but if it's a strike issue, then I'd say there's a possibility of EF-40.

I would grade this coin at EF-40. Very nice.

I'll go with VF-30. The reverse is strong but the weak central detail on the portrait holds it back. Surfaces look original and overall eye appeal is excellent. That "visor" mark looks like a planchet lamination.

PCGS gave it a VF35. The reverse could go 40 but strike weakness at the obverse center holds it back I think. Just got her today and she looks very nice! I'll post a couple of my own pics later. Thanks for the grades and comments!  |

Here's my pics which reflect the true color better. The slab is somewhat scuffed up which shows at the reverse center the most. I went ahead and sent it to PCGS for re-grade mainly because I want a new slab but partly because it has an outside shot at a 40. I'm very happy with the piece.   |

In my humble opinion anyone who owns a certified draped bust half in VF or better grade gets a well done vote
