I'd call it VF-30, maybe 35. It looks basically OK but I wonder about those pimples by Liberty's legs. They might be caused by a rusted die. They could be old pinholes that displaced metal and then were smoothed down by circulation wear. Or, they could be defects indicating this is a cast counterfeit.
Can you check the weight? A genuine 1855-O half in VF grade should weigh around 12.3 grams.

VF-20 by wear, but damaged.

I'd say VF25-30 and with the cleaning it should go in a details holder. As a VF Details piece the value would top out around 50 USD retail.

its genuine Be careful using that word. That the word PCGS uses instead of DETAILS used by NGC. "Authentic" would be a better choice. |

I agree with vf dets and looks cleaned. The pimples are concerning as they don't look like die rust to me. There is also a scratch on the head where there should be a hairline. I would look to see if there atr die varieties with those 'pimples' on liberty.
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
