    Going by the photos, I like half of the coin. The red, lustrous areas appear to be Choice Uncirculated. The dull parts look like something that is beyond toning. If there is luster there that is not showing in the photos, it’s something like MS-64, R&B. If they are dead dull, it could be a details situation.

    That's a gorgeous half cent! I don't have one myself but I wanna get one soon (obviously not even CLOSE to that condition :lol: ) but I would probably guess MS63 RB
