I'll say EF-45. I don't care for the obverse/reverse toning differences. To me, it looks like the obverse was cleaned long ago, and then there was a brief start to cleaning the reverse in the lower left quadrant. Not a fan.

XF40'ish but not a coin with much eye appeal.

AU-DETAILS CLEANED.

An old cleaning IMO, but still a very nice coin. If not detailed then I will say AU-58

Net AU55. eye appeal on the lower side. looks like the original surfaces are gone so cleaning is not out of the question

AU-55. I've seen Seated halves with similar tone graded as problem-free and this one is likely straight-graded. The coin looks nicer in your photos.

PCGS graded it as an AU53 and it green beaned! I am surprised no one commented on the damage under the 7, I am a little surprised at it being a CAC.
