1818 Half Dollar

Does anyone have a guess on what this coin would grade. Thanks for your time.

Would have been mint state when it was dropped. The fact that it was cleaned (well-done, by the way), it would only grade a high AU-58. The very good news is that it has the dot between 18[dot]18. In the most recent Coin Market published in Numismatic News, it would be valued at $1200. If by some crazy chance it can slip by the graders as being uncleaned, it would be worth $2500 in lower mint state grades.

Congratulations on a heck of a find. Tell us more details on the find.

Note: I had to edit my post on the values quoted. Due to the early morning, lack of coffee, and older eyes, I read the wrong columns.
