If that came out of a roll, it's freaking amazing. I don't care if it's cleaned, dipped whatever, that is quite a score. High five!
given the old holder, assigned xf45, but nowadays 50-53. nice looking half dime!
It's very hard to grade from photos (duh!). I would infer this: from the buyer's photos, there is AU detail but xf luster. To me that suggests...
