Curious as to thoughts on the diagonal hairlines on the reverse. Old cleaning? That said, I like the coin.

@Blastenpene, I asked about these limes on another thread, link below. I've seen these a lot on reeded edge half dollars, not so much on earlier capped bust halves. http://goccf.com/t/458521Thanks for the feedback everyone. |

I'm at VF-35. I think there is an old cleaning.

@psuman08, I was leaning more towards VF35 myself based on PCGS photo grade. But also have seen other PCGS EF40s that IMO look much worse. While there are a few light dings like above Liberty's head and above the eagles wing on the right, the fields and devices otherwise are much better IMO than many higher graded coins.
I also wondered about a possible old cleaning, but don't see any obvious hairlines to speak of, plenty of faint random lines/ circulation rub (excluding the roller lines)going every which way looking at it with 14x loupe. Cleaned and re-toned or not, for me it has very nice eye appeal. No plans to ever have it slabbed, so will never know what the "professionals" think.

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."
