Not being very experienced with bustys, I'd hazard a guess at XF-45, maybe 40 minimum. I have one raw with similar details and toning pattern, but I like yours a bit better. very nice!

Nice looking coin, I'm going to say there is just enough detail to make EF-45. I can't tell the variety because of the slight angle of the pictures.I would like to see a full on shot once you get the coin.

Very cool! Here is mine, and you can see they look pretty similar.  Is yours slabbed? It looks to be in some sort of slab(old anacs or ngc). I purchased mine raw as XF-40, though it may be a bit stronger.   |

There isn't a site that I've found that shows the different varieties for these coin. The best source is the book "United States Early Half Dollars Die Varieties 1794-1836" this book lists all the known varieties and assigns numbers known as Overaton numbers.

ridiculous in that you are very accurate on grades, but that comes in time I guess. and it is s NGC I compared it to the coin on the sire and it has all the same wear points so I am confident that it is genuine.
