Net graded to Fine
That’s a hot mess.
Not another Draped Bust GTG (lol). I dug out my ANA grade book for this one. They tell me not to get worked up over adjustment marks. I will guess VF-35. It is probably just a 30 but I give a 5 point bump for something I have never seen in hand. James
Surprisingly this is an MS-60 coin.

@pcgsregistrycollector . As I said, not anywhere near my knowledge level. Is it common for coins of this type to have that flat gray center? I would peg it as waer 10 out of 100 times, but then i am often wrong about many things. james
I am also unfamiliar with this issue, @seatedlib3991. I was initially very shocked that this coin got a grade even remotely close to Mint State 60. If any draped bust collectors could shed some insight on this, it would be much appreciated.

MS-60? It has to be a labeling error.
Here's one that is graded EF-45 that's in my collection. I been drawn to the early half dimes for as long as I have been a collector. The 1796 pieces have always been bad luck for me. I have always just missed the "right" piece.
This one has been lightly cleaned, but it still got a straight grade.
This one is graded NGC AU-58, CAC. I'll take this one over the OP all day long.
I thought AU50 at best.
Coin sold for 17.5k. Surprised!

I am not familiar with pricing on these but will guess that the price is in line with grade on holder. I will only say this. I would guess far better than 90% of certified coins sell within 10% (higher or lower) of their suggested value no matter what the coin in the holder looks like.
I don't even make note of the fact anymore when I see a dull, lifeless coin with weak details sell for strong AU money while in the exact same auction (sometimes very next coin) is a CH-45 with way better details and wonderful luster that sells for much less. Way too many people buy numbers on plastic without regard to the actual coin for this trend to end any time soon. James
Makes no sense. Buy the coin not the holder

I was going to say AU, realizing these usually have real problems due to the primitive technology, etc..
Even discounting the center flatness as completely due to strike weakness, I can't help but notice some rub in less protected areas of the fields.
