Hi all, I picked up this gem at an auction today and wondering what you think it would grade out at?

Thanks!

I'm not even going to try, but it is a shame that there's a scratch on Liberty's face.

AU55 and possibly details grade for the obverse gouge. Do you think it's a strike through or is there fresher metal visible inside the groove?

Thanks all,

Here's some extremely zoomed in shots of the obverse scratch.

Wondering now if I should keep it ungraded. What do you suppose the value of the coin would be around with an AU 58 details grade?
