The stars look curiously misshapen.
I don't know enough about this series to say if this a significant variety or not.

EF-45, choice for grade - great coin.

The weaker part of the strike appears to be at the date and at the 50 c. I'd be interested in the alignment. It should be coin alignment, but the rim and the strike lead me to believe its medal alignment.

XF45, nice original surfaces. Great coin! Quote:
The stars look curiously misshapen. I believe that's from metal flow in a late state die, common in bust halves. |

this coin may have been cleaned. look at the spot on the cheek. looks like someone was attempting to remove something in that area. there are also spots around each of stars. very noticeable at star 8. may have not been rinsed properly. I'm going with XF45 details. still a nice coin

anacs graded this one au50. toning hides luster. some peeks out hugging devices, but not the half the ANA grading guide suggests for au. sharpness there for au but not the luster imho.  |

the alignment is coin alignment and the areas around the date and denomination are stronger that what my poor photo skills are able to show through the plastic.

Looks nice! 45 or 50 sounds right. It has au details for sure.
