Looking at this coin at auction. Biggest issue is that nasty hit by the mouth. Thoughts on grade and value? I think it's an N1, but not positive.

AU55 straight. That hit is a bit unfortunate.

I'm at AU-55 as well. Hit doesn't bother me.

AU58. Nice color, but the spots on obverse and the cheek hit would keep me away unless it's a value buy.

I'm at AU58 also on this one. looking close at that mark at first I thought could it be die related but blowing it up its PMD. I agree that the coin probably goes straight but I would not pay 58 $$ for it even though its a nice coin with some really nice red peaking through

AU-58, doesn't look like a hit by the mouth, looks like a planchet flaw.

Good question because there appears to be mint luster in the bottom of that mark.

This passed my bid and sold for around $180. Here's the slabbed grade.
