Hairlines noticable on close inspection, along with no luster. Certainly cleaned, and quite unfortunate on this beautiful coin. It looks MS Details.

A sharply-struck coin with no signs of wear. A couple wispy hairlines are visible on the obverse; maybe they are on the holder rather than the coin? I can't tell if the coin is actually in a holder.
The strike and lack of contact marks are consistent with an MS-65 grade but the surfaces have a processed look with no visible luster. Hopefully it looks better in-hand. Based on these images I'd presume it's a cleaned coin, likely over-dipped.

How you guys can grade from these dark, bland pics is beyond me.  |

I can always grade. Whether I am anywhere near the target is not guaranteed! &  |

The run of half dollars in the auction was impressive. Unfortunately they all looked like this, lifeless. Same was true of Seated dollars that were clearly MS but overdipped. |
