No... if anything, NGC and PCGS have historically overgraded NFLD silver coins in circulated grades, sometimes badly so. I still don't like how NGC grades NFLD silver coins, and yes I know the series.

Here are a few NGC VF-30 - which I don't necessarily agree with.

My mistake is that I assumed the original poster was from the US, and I was trying to think in PCGS grades. I see now that the poster is from Ontario, so I'll give my opinion on what I think ICCS would grade this coin.

As for being a NFLD 50-cent, by Canadian standards, we know that these coins were often weakly struck, but with the level of detail in the braid, the eye, the hair above the wreath and the high points on the reverse, ICCS would probably grade the OP's coin VF-30.

Some examples, and compare them to the NGC examples:
