What would you grade this Capped Bust Half?

I'm planning to list this raw half this weekend on EB . I'd call it VF, but would like your opinion. Sure, it's been cleaned, but not in the 53 years that I've had it. Traded a guy an H&R 410 for this coin and 4 vinyl record albums (one was Todd Rundgren, don't remember the others).

VF sharpness, improperly cleaned. Sorry.

Although it's from an earlier era, it should look more like this.

 

Nice coin.

 

Agree with VF cleaned. You can see how flat the high points are, and the shine is not from luster, it is from a layer of patina that has been removed.
When that dirty metal is scraped away, the silver underneath appears shiny, but it's not OGM.

 

Agreed with above! Here's mine before and after getting slabbed, I'm happy with the grade and it's my first and only bust half.

 

@fretboard, although I see a few cleaning hairlines on your Bust Half Dollar, it is still an attractive piece.

 

Agreed, plus I learned from it!
