Here is the other problem-free Half Dime that I won and wanted to see what you thought in comparison to NGC.

Thank you for your interest!

I think it graded AU-58. Seems to have just a little bit of wear on the knee and the wreath.

That is some of the most brutal clashing I've ever seen on a coin. Those aren't die cracks.

I have it at 55.

From these pictures, I can't quite make up my mind if there is the tiniest amount of wear on the high points or not.
Either AU58 or MS62.
