Picked this half up last week on EBay. Thought it looked real nice and fit into my set well. Any thoughts, good or bad, about the coin, and possible grade?

Please keep in mind that I am giving this opinion based strictly upon the two images included in the first post and that the coin might look mighty different in-hand.
It appears to me to be an AU that has been dipped and has light hairlines likely from circulation rather than from a wipe or previous cleaning. This look is extremely popular with many folks and the market can reward such coins. However, I tend to avoid coins with this appearance and would have kept searching.
Regardless, if you like the coin then that is great.

My guess would be VF35.

I'll say 40, maybe 45. The low resolution images make it tough to judge the surfaces though.

Without a better image or seeing it in hand I see an ungrade-able Details coin.
Silent net grade to 40 is my guess.

Looks around a 40 to me
You guys are really good in your grading, and it helps me with what I am seeing, or what I feel about a coin. Thanks for the feedback as always. My photography is very horrible but here is another shot.
