Moe, You snagged another sweetie. I'd call it AU53. Check out those spots under 10X (12:00 on the obv and around Half Dollar on the reverse) to make sure there's no active PVC. If there is ... get it in acetone.  |

I think it may just make EF-45. Very pretty seated! |

Maybe not quite AU, but looks solid for EF-45. The dark material in the date, legend, and design recesses looks like what didn't come off during a long-ago cleaning. There are no excessive hairlines or other defects so maybe a TPG would give it a righteous (not a Details) grade. The 1852-O is a scarce and desirable date. Congrats on picking up this one! |

XF45 perhaps just made it to AU due to the luster. Nice coin!
