I recently acquired this Capped Bust Half. I am thinking it would grade around an XF 40-45. I would like opinions about the condition. Thank You   |

I'm leaning around VF35/XF40.

based on the photos you presented XF details (cleaned) all of the original skin appears to have been removed.

I agree with panzaldi. Looks cleaned.
Errers and Varietys.

I wondered about the surfaces as well, but thought it might be a photo/camera settings issue.
Are these seller pics, or your in hand pics?

As far as I know it is NOT cleaned. I have this in hand. My photos are not great.

Moose you want to post the best photos you can get that are representation of what the coin actually looks like in hand. photos are tough to grade from as it is and if these are not what the coin looks like, you are not going to get an accurate assessment which I assume is what you want. for a 100 year circulated coin she just too clean. maybe use a different lighting. no overhead light. dont mess with the photo afterwards. use a dark background.
if you decide to repost the photos. we will take another look at it

Not original surfaces. A TPG would sticker this as EF details. |

There are many hairlines on both sides of the coin.

Unfortunately lots of hairlines. Possibly chemically cleaned leaving behind bits of grime or toning. If you have return privileges, I'd send it back unless you got it dirt cheap.
