Interesting. Were it not for the reeding ding behind the eye, I'd think this a different coin. Your scanner is....optimistic.
The darker "scratches" seen on the cheek in the scan are pretty much confirmed as unimportant in the images; indeed, some of them do not show up at all. The obverse fields seem a little "busier" than the scans indicated, and the gouge at the hairline draws the eye a little more. The reverse is still very, very nice.
I'm thinking 65 now.
The best thing about a bicycle is that it uses no gasoline, therefore the chance of fiery death is greatly reduced.
