Seems fairly graded. Nice example.
What are parallel grooves by the obverse rim at 3:30? If they were post-mint damage ANACS would have assigned a details grade so I presume they were on the original planchet.

I see those lines on other spiked chin coins so I think it was on the die

the spiked chin was caused by a screw getting struck into the die. the lines in the field are the threads from the screw and the spike is the head of the screw. it damaged the die which was used for 4 die marriages
in theory there should be an example of one of the early spiked chin varieties as a struck through screw without a spiked chin. if that coin ever shows up people will loose their minds.
