I received this one a while ago and submitted to PCGS. It is on its way home and wanted to know what you think?

VF-25. I'm thinking it will straight-grade, but that modern staple scratch (?) would put me off from buying it. Let us know!

VF20 details(ED). the displaced metal is a little much to grade straight. its the first thing you see when you look at the coin

My thoughts on this coin was F15 Details and I bought it because it is one of two die marriages from the New Orleans Mint without the mintmark (use of an 1839 Capped Bust reverse die). It is a WB-12 and is much rarer than the other marriage, WB-4. This one is coming back from PCGS in a F15 straight slab. I guess they dropped a grade for the obverse damage?
