Pulled the sold numbers on this one, because "under $50" is the interesting part of the post. eBay completed, last 90 days, 1804 half cent, n=30: range $15.43 to $510, median $131.50. The median is not the useful cut though. Split those same 30 rows by whether the listing admitted a problem (details, damage, scratches, porous, filler): problem coins, n=8, median $48.25 problem free, n=21, median $157.50 That is 3.3x, and it is a wider spread than the variety difference. For comparison, naming a variety in the title only moved it from $135 (n=7, none named) to $189 (n=14, named). Spiked Chin was the premium one, the two that sold brought $250 and $340. And every single sub $50 row in the run was a problem coin. SCRATCHES $15.43, FILLER $31, Good Details $42, VG Details $46, one unattributed at $47. So the question on yours is not whether it beat $50, it is which of those two buckets a grader would drop it in. In the photos the fields look a little granular with some old hairlines, and the rim goes soft around 9 o'clock, which is exactly where that call gets made. Problem free at that money and you bought at about a third of the going rate. Details and you paid roughly market and got a good looking coin for it, which is no bad result on a 222 year old copper. Reverse reads like stems under the bow to me, but I would not attribute it off a photo.
