    Fair amount of trace luster in hand under a light source.

    This is a Cohen 1, the only known die pairing of 1851 half cents. Mintage of 147,672 is high for the series which makes this date easily obtainable as a type coin.

    Fun fact- All have a misplaced "1" to the right of the second 1 in the date.

    This was my initial thought as well. 50 or 53.

    These coins saw very little use in circulation. Most of them are in high grade. Most of the low grade pieces got there via damage, not wear.

    I think this one was overgraded by 10 points. I’m not seeing the luster.

    I had it at AU50 myself before submitting... I don’t think there’s quite enough wear for XF based on the image you posted but I agree they were generous with this one.
