Definitely a very nice looking Braided Hair Cent! I'd say mid AU range.
Errers and Varietys.

The surfaces look rough, could it have been conserved?

Those reverse lines don't cross but a few of the devices (mostly "OF"), which makes me believe they came from some sort of die polishing at the mint. Don't see them on the obverse.

UPDATE: Can't win them all, I guess. Sure don't see any evidence of cleaning on this one. Guess they flagged it for those lines on the reverse, but I don't think they're from cleaning.  |

That's a bummer.  Errers and Varietys.

From the second picture down, there appears to be subtle hairlines from the fields and across the face. that combined with a little crud in the deepest crevasses of the lettering on the reverse may be what they noticed. Disappointing to come back "details' but still a nice coin.

Hopefully it was part of your NGC subscription package submission to absorb the cost of submission...
Learning is fundamental...but still frustrating!
I've done it PLENTY of times...
Apparently...I'm very fundamental...or just mental ; )~

Yep, submitted 5 coins in economy class and dropped them off at a show, so no shipping charges. Had a big winner on the 1857 1c large cent and the 1863 Indian, so it's a bit of a trade off.  |

boo  IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
