Judging by the surfaces this is a weakly struck AU coin. AU-50, maybe 53.

Me thinks EF-40 with a bit of thumb wiping. Still worthy of a straight grade.

Agree weak strike and at least EF-45, but spotting detracts.

AU53. Appears to have quite a strong die clash on the reverse -- look directly across from the planchet void on the rim at K10-K11. Obverse might also be clashed, appears left of her forehead or as the two thin die-crack-looking lines running from S6-S7 to the bust. A nice coin, and worthy of further investigation.

slight weak strike. the overall look of the coin with a sharp date and most star centers defined put this one in the AU range for me. AU53

This is why buying, or grading, coins over the Internet can be somewhat confusing. Using your original pictures, I thought AU53 or maybe even AU55; with your new pictures, I am at AU50. It's still a very nice Half Cent, regardless. Member ANA - EAC - TNA - SSDC - CCT #890 "Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossible before they were done." -- Louis D.

EF40 or 45 hard to differentiate for me on this one.

EF with a weak strike, especially on her hair.
Nice clean coin
