Another concern but maybe not since I don't do halves is the gash at the "E" in UNITED.
I agree. Looks like a staple did enough damage there not to get a straight grade. Other than that it would have. Looks like there is still some luster in the devises

Long term dealer looked at it today and called that a planchet defect, he knows Bust 50c well
It does not look like a planchet defect to me...however, it looks benign enough to straight grade....Perhaps a 50 and might get 'cleaned'...Cheers, RickO

In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

Cleaned and damaged. It does not look like a planchet defect to me.

If it straight grades I'd guess XF45.
Not a fan regardless of grade

AU sharpness, scratched.
They will probably grade it XF 45 without looking too closely, that appears to be PCGS policy on these lately.

I see this as mid-AU details, at worst. If luster is weak it may hold it back.
I don't like the gash. I don't think it's a strike-through or planchet defect. But the TPG's may feel otherwise.

Was he the seller?
Nice, except it looks like damage

If it comes back straight graded, it’ll register a 45 on the rictor scale....
AU50 details, scratched. Shouldn't straight grade.
