As always thoughts on grade and issues? Thanks! What looks like a scratch from the star to the eye of liberty is not actually on the coin but on the plastic covering.   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."

For the grade I'd say Vf-35. As far as issues, there are a couple rim dings and obverse scratches, liberty broke her nose, and someone took a shot at the eagle and missed.

Graders are more lenient on bust coinage so I'll agree with mike and say xf40. The rim hits and other stuff don't really impact the coins grade IMO

EF-40 net VF-35 because of the digs at 1:00 on the obverse.

I think the detail could squeeze to 40 if just barely but it appears to have been lightly cleaned. There are a few scattered gouges and a couple minor rim bruises but I believe this coin could straight grade as a VF+.

My grade VF-25 or 30. The mark on the nose is a little distracting, but to be expected for the VF grade.
