As asked I'm posting all my inherited coins as separate threads for grading. Also, I'm not a coin collector, so it would be helpful if I could get a dollar amount estimate to go along with the grade.

I'll say EF-45 with just a couple of distracting marks.

The 1811 Capped Bust half dollar grades about xf40 with a weak strike on the eagle. The bust half is worth about $400. Also very original and in demand by collectors.
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS
THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

This is a very original 1811 Capped Bust half dollar. It is the O-111 variety, with a rarity of R-1, 1000+ known examples. This coin has weak stars on the left side which is common for this variety.

I see some fine scratches running through stars 1-4 that travel diagonally through the bust of Miss Liberty. I give this coin an XF-40, with average eye appeal. You should see this coin bring about $350 as-is.

I agree with EF-40 for the technical grade. The scratch from the second star to the portrait concerns me. It seems fairly recent, and deep. There is a chance that it could get a "Details" designation, but there is a better chance that it straight grades.
