Based on the drapery, possibly XF or better, but those pictures are too dark and too small.

A bit dark in the pic, maybe a brighter contrast to bring out some of the details in better relief, otherwise I'd say VF.

From these pics I would start with EF.  Closer! |

Better pics might show us more hairlines in the hair which would be needed IMO for an EF grade. I absolutely love Half Cents, especially the low mintage ones. That would be the ones that are ten times rarer than an 09'- SVDB, but only cost less than $150. Anyway, back to this one, the reverse leaf details seem to me to speak about a VF grade. I doubt that the EAC folks would be much more than VF on this beatuy.  |

That's a nice old Half Cent! Pic's too dark and small to grade with confidence. Do you have photo editing software to brighten it up and amp up the contrast a bit? |

Looks to be a solid VF+ coin. Slightly darker copper which adds to the beauty of this coin. Nice pickup!

I find it hard to bring myself to agree with vermontensium about something, too, ksammut. I understand taking two and a half years to get up the courage to do it.
