Thinking about it but also just curious to see what people think of this bit of localized damage. I bought an 1876 NFLD 5c, graded AU-55 last year in spite of the fact that it's got a somewhat similar scratch on the reverse (I posted about it here). Again, it's not visible to the naked eye but once you look with a glass it's there forever and ever and ever. But I'm satisfied with the purchase because the rest of it - obverse and the rest of the reverse - is stellar. Similar case here. And this one is much cheaper. Might make an offer anyway....
