1870 Half dollar coin

[dooly]

Hi all just wondering if anyone would like to have a go at the grade and current market value .. for this bit of USA silver please

 

[L1ncolnF4n]

AU-50 is my say, $200 give or take

 

little to much spotting for a higher grade in my opinion

Liberty's foot is also worn slightly

The banner for IGWT is worn on the lower left

i was wondering about the semi-circles of toning myself

[L1ncolnF4n]

Its just a bit too irregular for me to think that its 100% natural. Golly do I hate people who clean things and doctor them up.

I would say AU also, I like the looks of it tho'.

AU sharpness, but I'm concerned about the dark toning around the upper part of the obverse. It looks like that dark stuff that is etched into the silver. If it is, I'd pass.

AU-55, but as others have stated, the surface disturbances may be an issue. It might net out at AU-50.

Other than the spot over the first T in STATES, this is my favorite of the 3 coins I have seen so far. She looks good to me otherwise and if that spot obove the T is not "etched in", I'd go AU 53. Sandal is separated from foot and neck line appears 99% complete. I like the color myself. I can't tell if it's been recolored or not, but if she is "natural" she's a nice one!
