I don't think she is the 50/00 variety. The dealer said g4 to vg8 but I am leaning towards g4.

Need better pics to accurately judge, too much glare and flashback. Certainly no less than VG, obverse looks closer to F, but a Details coin for me, cleaned.

Congrats on the first Bust Half! It looks like the O-108 variety with a rarity of R.1 (1,000+ known). What is interesting about this die pair is that it is the 1336/1836 overdate. There was an 8 punched over the 3, causing an overdate.
I would call this VG-8 Details Cleaned.
Suffering from bust half fever.

If the coin is in the 2x2,remove it and take new photos with a filter over your light source.

Better pics with less glare will help.
