I recently found this in a box of half dollars. It is by far the most heavily worn clad coin I have ever found in circulation; does anyone have an idea of how low it might grade?

Does anyone else think some of the devices, especially the date, look just a bit mushy, like on a Dryer Coin?
Other than that, it looks like a decent lowball.
