Looks like a bit of circulation, or a weak strike. I'm at AU-55.

Tough series to grade, and I'm not great with them in the least. I'm at AU50/53

AU something. Very weak and inconsistent strike. The Type Il 3CS generally have strike problems but this one seems weaker than usual. Haven't shopped for one lately but if I were I'd want stronger details and I'd be willing to pay more to get them.

This came in. The top star point in the obverse appears to have a scratch, but if you look closely, the mark runs under the double border of the star. Not sure what it is, but it does not appear to be a scratch. Thoughts? Thanks!

No opinion on grade, but the mark may be a die gouge from attempting to polish the die clash. It can't be residue of the clash itself in that location, but a gouge would make sense.

Just my Three Cents worth.

The new pics are from the same coin? If so, looks much better now. Toning is attractive and enhances the coin IMO. I say AU55.

Agreed with FC, looks like a die gouge.

I'll stick with my initial AU50-53.
