Your thoughts on this one?

Think that scratch on lower reverse will keep it from straight grading?

Thanks!

I don't think the scratch will detail it, but it appears cleaned in these pics. Can you show it with diffused lighting?

I wish. I suck at photos. Appears fully original in hand. Are these better?

That's better. I'll say F-12 straight, but not premium for the grade.

The reverse looks stronger, I'd say VF-20 straight.

I could see F15+ here. Appears to me to be an old cleaning. Would love to see the piece in-hand.

I say F15 range. Might have been cleaned at some point and now retoned. Should straight grade IMO. If it were mine I'd put it into an ANACS holder for my heirs to be able to sell it.

i have an 09S vdb that has a light scratch on the obv field PCGS returned it as XF Genuine - scratched. the scratch on this the reverse of this one appears to be about the same or deeper

your original photos lighting was making the coin surfaces appear to be cleaned. your new ones have less glare and do not imo look cleaned. 50/50 chance it comes back straight.

as for grade the obv looks VG10 reverse VF25. i'll net it to F15 possibly details.

here's mine before it was sent in
