Your coin is known as the 1936 Cleveland Centennial half dollar ... interesting story behind the spelling of the name as shown on the obverse. Short version of that story ... Moses Cleaveland arrived in the area in 1796 with settlers from New York ... his name was shortened to Cleveland to fit the format of the initial local newspaper. Your coin is somewhat difficult to find in honestly circulated condition. Reviewing your photographs I believe ... with some experience in circulated commemorative ... that this example is VF35/XF40 with likely a surface cleaning. Nice pickup of a historical coin for $30.
