Just got this one. Your opinions on this Seated Half are greatly appreciated! Are the surfaces original and what would it grade?

Thanks,
Joe

The surfaces look original to me. Thats the look that I
would be going for if I had the intent of collecting
Seated coinage. I'd probably grade it in the xf40-45 range
in comparing it to others I see graded on ebay. Although,
the coins I do see graded as such seem to be graded
inconsistantly so.

That's a beautiful coin! Yeah, looks like a 45 to me, too. What's up with the mottled fields on the right side of the obverse? Are those just bag marks?

Looks original. Lack of luster might hold it to XF40, maybe 45.

It is a nice looking piece.

Great coloring, and I'm in the XF-45 camp, also. Nice pics!

Looks like a nice coin! I'd have to see a photo out of the 2x2 before offering a grade guess.
