The gouge across the face/eyes would bodybag a more recent issue but bust coinage is different. AU55.

Good looking coin and love the toning. The 1836 is known for the die cracks but I think the scratch across the face is bad enough to warrant a details grade in this case (even for bust coinage).
AU details.

How did I miss that scratch? I need to take longer on the coin grading threads.
Changing to AU details.

Beautiful coin unfortunately that scratch keeps it to AU details for me. Looks like someone pocket knifed it long ago.

AU details - Scratched.
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."

Given that it's NGC I'd say AU-55. The coin might get a "details grade" at PCGS because of the obverse scratch. The coin has an interesting combination of the die breaks and scratches. It's one coin clinic on learning how to tell the difference.

AU55 details. they will apply that designation as the 'X' is deliberate damage to the coin.

Here it is. I guess the grader overlooked the scratch, like I did when I first saw it.  |
