There is something going on by the jaw and in the neck of Liberty. If considered a scrape from another coin in the bag, then maybe MS64. If the area in the neck is rubbed, then AU58+. Details designation for this coin seems severe, especially given what the rest of the coin looks like. Cleaning seems a little far fetched. But graders are human, and like everyone else, they have bad days. I would suggest resubmitting it to PCGS, but this is such a common coin after the release of hundreds of 1,000 coin bags of mint state 1898-Os in 1962. Such a pretty coin nevertheless.
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS
THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: "
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
