Condition on Half Dollar 1919 d

Hi!
New here! My grandfather got this coin from an relative sometime around 1960s, this relative hade lived for some years in LA, he got there as a sailor. My english isnt the best, i have looked on some sites but have difficult to understand the diffrent grades of condition and grades of these coins and now try this forum and see if i can get some help and more information! In my eyes the coin is in really good shape, it have been lying in a box with other old coins för att least 50 years.
Regards from Fredrik, Uppsala, Sweden

    @Icken.... Welcome aboard. Your image links do work and the pictures are quite clear. I would say your coin will grade XF40.... Cheers, RickO

    The photos are a bit small but I would agree with the grade of XF40. Do not clean the coin! The coin is a better date and has considerable value so take good care of it. It would probably be a good idea to have it slabbed by PCGS.

    Looks more like AU53/55 to me, and very desirable and valuable as such for this date and mintmark.
    Very nice find you have there!
