On the scratches, PCGS looks at the size, location, severity, recency, and number of scratches. These scratches look old and superficial. Straight grade, all the way.

What absolutely kills classic coins are the staple scratches. They look out of place (and ARE), and there isn't any way to ignore them. They are pretty much automatic details coins.

No opinion on the grade, but there is quite a bit of luster visible. This is a beauty. I'm guessing this critter would be priced a couple cars and a truck over my allowance.

Thanks so much everyone!

Oldfordman, what grade do the details look to you, if not 45? Lower? Higher?
