Is this Bust 50c gradable or not? I've tried to provide better pictures as I've been told mine fall far short.

It looks AU details, cleaned to me.

I'm going to agree with @MFeld

Wonderful strike though... maybe try a gentle toothpick on that obverse black smudge?

Might make it into a regular slab though... Not an offensive cleaning.

Do you think that would be seen by a grading company as something they'd have to mention?

I think if it's been cleaned, you are not going to hurt the details grade. Sometimes if the gunk has been there from long ago it leaves the metal a little dis-colored underneath. I think it's worth a shot if it is just contaminate on the surface.
