AU55? That’s a very nice looking half dime.

AU-58

 

Small stars variety

 

I would guess AU-58. Very beautiful half dime.

 

Ms64

 

AU-55

 

I'll guess it received an MS 63 in spite of light handling.

 

MS-61

 

Au 55 I see light wear and pcgs has been super tough on half dimes lately

 

crack for ngc or CAC?

 

As @Paddy54 says. What looks like wear could be lighting or a weak strike. I think I would try for CAC before an upgrade.
Very nice!

 

I was thinking strike and lighting over ms /au as well die alignment die breaks are common,but straight ones to me I believe to be less common and misaligned dies wnich may cause the break.

 

The leg, and the light discoloring on the utmost highpoints was what made my guess a 55.

 

Should be an AU 58.
53 is a scooch low.
It has been mentioned they have been strict on these halfies recently.
They wear easily and this is a nice one. It's almost an MS slider on a drunken Friday grade.
