Probably graded VF-30 problem-free, but it has been cleaned.

I'd say vf-25, possible old light cleaning but NGC probably saw it as market acceptable

It depends on when this was graded, to a certain extent. NGC has been stricter on BHD the last two years or so.
Old centered lettering label - VF30.
Newer left lettering label - VF25.
Cleaning is obvious, but not evil enough to detail.

I imagine that NGC graded this EF-40. The 1805 half dollars are deeper design details that almost all of the 1806 haves and all of the 1807 Draped Bust pieces. I think that the amount of detail on this piece will trump the cleaning issues.
My grade would be VF-30.

I'd probably say VF-35, but agree on your EF-40 thought.

vf details cleaned
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."

VF35. It's had some of its patina removed but looks problem-free as far as TPG goes. |

Nice coin. To me the cleaning is so old and unobtrusive that it might not be noted. So VF-35.

I'm voting VF-30 too. I'm going to say it gets the detail grade because of cleaning but I could be wrong.

I bid on that coin over the weekend. It was auctioned off by Great Collections. Did you get it?
