I would say MS63 even with the scratch at the nose. The lower one looks like a die break to me.

The scratches are bag marks?  Maybe, but scratches are scratches. Edited by Coinfrog

Looks like at least one die break along the bottom to me too. If that's a die break I'd grade it as a 63. A perfectly straight line like that always makes you wonder a little bit though. Could possibly be some weird planchet flaw instead? I feel like I've seen a post in here in the last year with something similar. It's also very well struck with sharp details. Struck a bit off centre towards 12 o'clock, enough so that the rims are a little weird, particularly at 10-12 on the reverse.

I don't think that it's a die crack either. It's too straight and runs across the field and then across his neck. A normal D/C ends when it hits any part of the design, unless it travels through the die recess and comes out somewhere else. This whole thing is a straight line, probably a scratch. He hasn'r siad whether it was recessed or raised. Still a nice keeper coin for someone who doesn't have one.

I've looked at a ton of these online and never seen a die crack at all, let alone one that large. If you have the coin in hand, post some other images.
