What Would This 1921-D Half Dollar Grade At?

I recently picked up this 1921-D Half Dollar, likely with the intention of re-selling it. It came as part of an album, so I'm just now taking a look at the coin in hand. I understand that the coin gets to be quite valuable once it gets into the Fine/Very Fine range, so I wanted to see what you all thought. Thanks!

I'm at VF20

 

VF20 providing that it's authentic and not a fake. These are counterfeited. What is the weight, size and show edge? Counterfeit Coin Detection: 1921-D Walking Liberty Half Dollar (coinweek.com)

 

I think it is VF20 too.

 

I am in at the 35 40 details it's had a previous cleaning.

 

I'll just go with VF.

 

I think we need to examine the mintmark to see if the coin is authentic. Hard to tell from the pics.

There are a few red flags that are going up in my mind when I look at this coin.

 

Thanks for the responses! Here are a couple of additional pictures: one of the mintmark and one of the date for good measure.

 

Looks cleaned awhile ago. VF-20 details due to the cleaning.

 

I think I see graffiti after "AMERICA" on the reverse. If it really is there, whatever cleaning will not matter. It will get a "details" grade.

 

I totally agree.

 

With the pictures that I linked above, what's the verdict? Do you all think that the coin is genuine?

 

It looks ok, truth be told. I can't say for sure, but if it came in my shop, I would buy it

 

I also agree with most everyone and this appears to be a nice VF coin.

 

VF25, old market acceptable cleaning and indeed Original.
