What would you grade it? Cleaned? It has a darker tone.

I'd give this a VG. Reverse has a notably worn spot, but all the lettering. Reverse has a few letters with the shield, some drapery, and Liberty's eye surviving.

Half Dimes are always cool! I'm halfway into a date set of Capped Busts :)

Most of a LIBERTY so I'd say VG-10.

Looks like original gray tone to me.

Rest in Peace

I agree with VG-10. Really uncertain on cleaning. I've a feeling you may have lightened this photo a bit to better show the details.

The photos were not lightened at all. This was taken with the exact same set up as all the rest. Honestly the pictures look pretty much just like the coin does in hand in my opinion.
Rest in Peace

If the photos are color accurate I would say it is more likely that this coin may have been cleaned.

VG-10. Nice coin. Perhaps an old cleaning, if even.

VG-10. Probable light cleaning long ago. Would grade problem free IMO.
