  Seems to be ex-jewelry, worth anything at all (and if so, what grade) or just scrap silver?

Looks like G-Details, damaged.
Not worth much more than melt.

G-Details. These kind of coins can be picked up for melt at my dealer.

...worth anything at all... Always keep in mind that it's often worthwhile to double check the CherryPicker's Guide for the existence of varieties for US coins. The 1872 1/2 dime has a DDO listed as FS-H10-1872-101 (004) a.k.a. Valentine 6. Because a close-up of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA on your coin is not present here, it might behoove you to investigate these letters to a greater extent by scraping off any clinging crud adjacent to these letters. mdpmedia |

By the way, the following ebay URL contains a seller's coin illustrating the doubling effect for a DDO having a Buy-it-Now price of $ 39 in a G grade. The 4th photo in the series on this ebay auction has a helpful high-mag. scrolling feature that drills down onto the doubling of the AMERICA for one's review: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1872-FS-H10...em5d511a97abfyi, mdpmedia PS: I also always use a porcupine quill to scrap off crud from a coin's since it has adequate rigidity/tensile strength to dig into the unwanted material without damaging the patina of a coin: https://goccf.com/t/88137 |

Nice to hear 'Joe2007', seems paying ~$3 for it was not a waste.

If I knew where to buy these for 65 cents like the others are saying I'd own hundreds by now, in my opinion worth at least 3-5$ in historical value alone.
