Can anyone give me an idea on grading this half? I know it's been cleaned, but what's going on with the doubling nose and chin. Is this maybe a variety? Any help with this is greatly appreciated!

This is an interesting coin, I couldn't find a reference to it in Overton's. So this might be a new vareity. There is doubling on the nose, upper lip and chin. I would grade this right at EF-40. Nice coin.

As well as on the chest. That's Strike Doubling. Not die associated.

O-104, I think, evidenced by the cracks in the obverse stars. I tend to agree the doubling is from the strike.
