Here's a new purchase, currently housed in an ICG holder. What might be your grade judgments and comments?

I will go with AU-53. Is there a scratch running right next to liberty's chin?

Yes, there is an unfortunate shallow scratch in front of Liberty's face and neck. It isn't enough to put the coin in a problem holder but it is noticeable.

Oops, kinda forgot about this post. FYI, ICG gave the coin a grade of AU-55 which I think is accurate based on wear and luster. The scratch and other small marks might bring the coin to a more stringent market grade of AU-53 from another grading service.
