Reeded edge half - grading thoughts

Just bought this recently and wanted to get some feedback on the possible grade. I plan to send it to Pcgs for the quarterly freebie.

Looks VF25 or VF30 to me. I wouldn't quite say EF40.

Interesting die breakage on the reverse.

Edit: I'll amend my guess upwards: VF30 to VF35. I would think PCGS would probably grade it in the 25-30 range, but who'm I to predict their opinion?

Don't have my Photograde or ANA standards with me in the office, but by eyeballing it, I'd estimate VF-30, maybe VF-35.

vf-30 PCGS might give 35 if not bodybagged for PVC damage to reverse. (Might also be my cheap monitor at work

)

These pictures are not to hot. I'm still practicing with the photo editor to get a good representation of the actual coin. It has some nice toning on the coin that does not show up very well.

I'd say, About Very Fine.

Beautiful coin. Congratulations.

I'd agree with VF30+ but it looks to me like PVC on the reverse ? Might want to look closely and maybe soak it in Acetone ?

edited to add: It does have nice details. If it cleans up nicely maybe go VF35 ?

Very nice die crack and cud on reverse--ttt for the bust half pros to take a look--Stman, nysoto, et.al. Looks original.

VF35.....I can't see it going anylower....it has good details and looks like it just misses the EF40 grade to me.
