The glare blocks a bit of the view, and I'm not the greatest at grading these, but it looks to be enough for at least a VF-35, maybe close to EF-40... A lot of nice detail in the hair, cap, and eagle... very nice coin...

I would love to say XF40 but I think the reverse holds it back some, but this could be striking issues as well so ill say VF35. very nice coin

Very nice coin that does appear to have been dipped. I would grade it at EF-45.

I like VF-35 for this one. A great example of a Capped Bust half dollar!

IMO, this is an Overton variety 108 (R-2).
Rest in Peace
