Certainly no less than AU-58. Beautiful coin.

There is a significant amount of detail, and great obverse strike. Looks like an old cleaning and retoned. There is not a whole lot of luster left. Honestly not a huge fan. I don't like clean coins. But possibly market acceptable.
AU58 Details Cleaned
Suffering from bust half fever.

Looks original to me with decent luster. Very nice, I'd say AU-58, it's an O-103.

Looking at this closer, the bit of flatness in the hair and cap might just be strike, so I'll change to MS-63.

I'll stick with AU-58, but it's a lovely coin, and a MS grade would not surprise.

Still in the AU58-MS63 fence, leaning MS. Very nice!

Looks nicer than I thought in hand. Not as lusterous as an MS or even AU would be (as the photos portray). Possibly an old cleaning but market acceptable. AU-58.
No obvious rub or wear but lack of luster confuses me. Great piece otherwise!

I was originally in the AU58 group. Looks MS to me. I'll go with 63
