Seems to be some scratches. I don't think it graded problem free. Details wise, AU-55 or higher, possibly MS.

I angled it a little. Just a brutal coin to photo.

Sorry

AU-55. Although I don't think the scratch is bad enough for a details grade it still takes away a bit from the eye appeal of the coin.

Westcoin might be onto something. the devices on the reverse do have some PR quality to them. The pics are so hard to call this coin. i'll just sit back and wait for the reveal.
Rest in Peace

Westcoin was the closest. Awesome. I searched NGC and this is the only AU58, PCGS has one and ANACS has one. Also a few AU55 in there. It was the only way I would be able to afford a proof Half Dime. Thanks for all your insight and sorry again for photos.

Westcoin...what were your determining factors leading you to proof? Was it the sharpness of the devices?
