Geez you guys are tough. 55 and I'll go on record as saying that I love it!
Sweet!
Put me in the AU55 crowd. Very nice CBH!

55 here.
Initial gut reaction was 55...but maybe 53 after looking a bit longer.
While it does seem to be AU55 from wear, it's probably going to sell for AU58 or higher money based on eye appeal. If there's lots of luster there, I'd go with AU58. The rub on the hair curl, eagle's brow, and wing tips is obvious because the color is broken. Most AU CBH's are dipped out so you don't see this difference. Wonderful coin in the top 1% of eye appeal.
Amazing coin. I absolutely love it! Roadrunner summed it up above better than I ever could, but since its 2017 and we're in the age of "+" grades, Ill throw a guess that its in a 55+ holder.

I'm gonna say 58. Beautiful bust half.
I'm with the AU58 crowd, it's a stunner.
My initial thought was 55. Grade on this one wouldn't matter much to me.
Wow! I love it, Dave.
Looks XF45 to me. Worth a lot more.
Lance.
I would definitely say 55... in hand, maybe 58...that is a nice coin. Cheers, RickO

Au55 very attractive toning!
I think it's an easy 55, maybe a 58.

55 because of the toning. And while I'm a fan of toning on old silver, I will be one of the few to say I don't find this one to appeal to my eye.

Did you get it regraded, drddm? Although I guessed XF45 an AU bump wouldn't shock me.

53
Time to reveal the grade before this disappears on to the back pages for good.

@roadrunner It's an AU55

Did we get a grade reveil on this?
roadrunner is the man! Knows his coins and the market!
First look...50
Second look 53. Good stars on obverse, and especially defined feathers on left wing of eagle.

After 5 days, I'm guessing the OP might never reveal the grade.

I am in the 50-53 crowd...........
Reverse wing tops, claws, and feathers wear bespeaks 45+ to me, but 50+ obverse and if grade bumped for toning, probably 53-55.

Bump for the grade reveal
That was a very conservative 45 originally.
Pretty big jump from 45 to 55. Pretty coin.
So those that guessed either XF45 or AU55 were both right.
Actually, yes...both guesses were correct, but much happier with its current grade now
And definitely, one of my nicest bust halves!
Woo-hoo! I got the variety right. Close on the grade too.

Pretty coin!
Great... nailed it.... Very nice coin and the new grade fits. Cheers, RickO
Thanks for playing everyone and, of course, for the kind words.
She's definitely a keeper!
