    Got this as part of a trade with user mainebill. A very nice 1835 Half cent to replace my previous one for my date set. Anyone feel like venturing a grade for this one? :)

    Nice coin (I think).
    My main comment is that you need to review your imaging techniques.
    Contrast is poor so that the coin has no "life" (often a characteristic of coins that have been dipped).
    Plus I'm assuming that it has more color than is shown in your image.

    I'll guess 40, maybe 45.

    I think XF-45 - if no corrosion spots or cleaning. Nice coin.

    Just as an update, this coin was sent to PCGS and graded cleanly at XF-40 BN. Awesome!
