some may grade it AU-50, but I think the level of detail justifies XF-45. The C in 5C does show strike doubling, which is pretty cool. Strike doubling is not too common on bust half dimes (and there's no premium for it, of course).

Nice coin.
Too many positive BST transactions with too many members to list.
