  This is a typical uneven strike for this type. Some areas suggest EF; most of the coin is VF. Therefore I compromised at VF-25.

In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

  I need to alter my guess of 15 to Nongradeable after giving it a closer look. I think the reverse graffiti will prevent a grade.

  Having one of the poll answers Genuine / not gradeable makes me think you really wanted to ask what will PCGS grade this Capped Bust Half.

  A little busy for 25 so I'll say 20. Nice overdate, too

  I went with 15. Really nice, even wear.

  Let's try not to get upset.

  I like it as a 30. But I can see it grading at PCGS as a 25, or if they are in a happy generous mood maybe even a 35.
  
  VF either way.

  I like her as a 20-25
  The first design CBH's are always collectible.

  Some coins are just plain "Interesting"

  Looks like VF-25. VF-30 would not be out of the question.
  
  The scratches above the eagle's neck might drop it down a tad.
