This is a tough one. Mainly because it appears to of been cleaned due to the antiqued look. This could just be from these photos. But I'm gonna say this one has strong XF-45 details. May even go AU-50. Can't really tell how much original luster is present.

Nice!  If that's not AU, it's getting pretty close to my eyes. |

yep, it was called a Half Dime back then. I would say XF-45 details because it does look to be cleaned or something on the surface |

One way to make a copy is to use a mold made of sand. That could be one way to account for the soft features and the granular appearance.
