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

    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.
