Weakly struck (like all of them). The sail looks to have rub if so AU 58 otherwise it is similar to mine a MS 64.

65 wouldn't surprise me, but I'm sure no expert on commems.

Technical grade 58. Eye Appeal 6/10. Even though these are all poor for strike, this one is particularly light. Rub at high points although broken field luster is a better indicator of circulation, for this example. When I first looked at I was getting a bad feeling about authenticity, but that's probably more because it isn't NGC or PCGS. If you haven't purchased this yet, be aware that a TPG example will probably cost the same as raw. |

I'd say 58-57 a lot of bag marks,.. I'm no expert though, nice coin  |

I'll echo what Muddler said about rub on the sails, and there might be a bit of rub on the drapery at Neptune's butt, so I'll say 58.

MS-63. Decent average strike for a Hudson. I always suggest holding out for "better" struck examples. They are out there and they are scarce. This is what I consider a better than average strike on a Hudson. I'm sure there are better strike coins out there though.  Weak strike  |

You have received some great input from well educated collectors ... so little for me to add other than my concurrence.
The 1935 Hudson half was a recent example in the ongoing 'complete commemorative set' thread ... there you can view other weakly struck MS examples.
Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art |

Dubious authenticity, rubbed, cleaned ; the second two to conceal the first ... suspicious tool marks in legends - often seen like this decades ago before authentication services.

Superb photos by the way - very large and clear with differing lightings - extremely helpful ; I'd give your photography skills MS68.

freddo - Dubious authenticity? Are you saying this is counterfeit? That's quite a statement.  |

^ Means I'd need to see it in hand before I'd sign off on it ; if you've ever had that feeling of your antennae suddenly rising from your head ... this issue was a very common counterfeit "back in the day" and although the grading services have weeded many of them out I'd bet there are still some floating around - I hope I'm wrong about his coin but I'm just not sure ...
