Does anyone know about what grade this half would be? TIA

The following comes from the 2007 Red Book on the coin. I hope this helps some.

• G-4 GOOD- Date and legends legible. LIBERTY worn off headband.
• VG-8 VERY GOOD- Some letters legible in LIBERTY.
• F-12 FINE- LIBERTY nearly completely legible, but worn.
• VF-20 VERY FINE- All letters in LIBERTY evenly plain.
• EF-40 EXTREMELY FINE- LIBERTY bold, and its ribbon distinct.
• AU-50 ABOUT UNCIRCULATED- Slight trace of wear above forehead, leaf tips, and cheek, and on eagle's head, tail, and wing tips.
• MS-60 UNCIRCULATED- No trace of wear. Light blemishes.
• MS-63 CHOICE UNCIRCULATED- Some distracting contact marks or blemishes in prime focal areas. Impaired luster possible.
• PF-63 CHOICE PROOF- Reflective surfaces with only a few blemishes in secondary places. No major flaws.

In my opinion your coin would grade G-6 slightly better than G-4 but not quite good enough for VG-8


real world value of about 14 to 16.00

Im real fond of the O mint coins !!

If there is no mint mark at the bottom left of the fasces ,then the coin was minted in Philadelphia.
