Grading help, please. Do the scratches on the right side reverse preclude this coin from getting a decent grade? Thanks as always for the help!

Although I cannot give an accurate grade, I would have to say that those look like pretty deep gouges and would detract. Over all, though, it is a very attractive coin.

Probably. The detail looks AU+ but if those scratches are deep or fresh we're likely talking AU Details.

AU-50ish. Probably does get a details grade, but the gouges probably don't look bad in person since that is a small coin and it is magnified a lot in that picture.

I'm sorry to give my opinion on this one. It's a counterfeit. That's what I see... Louis
