PCGS came back with a "repaired" grade, AU detail, but I've gone through the coin with 10x magnification and saw no evidence of a repair. Possibly Liberty's left knee area to remove a chopmark?   Edited by fenton

Check the edge to see if a rim nic was filed off.

Ignoring the possible repair, any thoughts on where in the AU range this would grade?

For the repair look at the obverse area below star #1 on the sea as it looks like it took a hit. I am at AU58.

Except for the slight rub at the tip of Liberty's right breast, this looks unc all around with a wonderful strike. Love the fully struck up stars and head of liberty. It looks like a proof, certainly struck with very fresh, new dies. Denticles are so pristine. Shame about the grade as this is as good as an AU gets.
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."

I'll say AU-58 sharpness as well.

Yes, her left knee. Real shame.
