I'm at XF40 on it but 45 on the slab wouldn't shock me. I wonder, is that "scratch" on the reverse a strikethrough? Doesn't seem to be any displaced metal, and it's a big gouge which ought to show that.

I agree! xf-40 and with 100% original unmolested surfaces. I also think that is a strikethrough. Here is my 46 with a similar strikethrough error @12 on the reverse.  |

If they were the same price, I think I'd pick the other one.
But that's mostly because of the color difference. If anything, this has more original surfaces, but I like the two toned look better.
You also have to consider that there are probably one in 100 collectors that knows what a strike through even is. Although it doesn't and shouldn't affect technical grade I can see that the vast majority of collectors would consider it a problem.

Nice coins! Great conversation coins, with the strikethrough, great teaching pieces also. would guess the TPG would list the error on the slab if you requested?.if not, most would just call it a scratched rare coin, and never know, as mox said.. |

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."

Thanks for the opinions! The patina is attractive, however I plan on cracking it out. I'm afraid down the road, someone will think that is a scratch (like I did!). I was offered the other dollar for about $60 less. So I am probably going with the other one
This coin is graded Xf40, like the other one
