Need your help grading this one. I'm concerned about the shiny spots on the cheekbone and below the ear. Detail photos are attached

with VF details. Looks like hairlines from and old cleaning on the obverse and I think the scratch in front of the eye and the scrapes in the laurel crown are distracting enough to details this coin.

I'd agree on the VF20. Seeing it is a low mintage example - 138,450 - I think it may straight grade.

the long horizontal hairline scratches on the obv indicate a cleaning at some point. whats in its favor is that, from what I can using these photos, those scratches are toned over. there is a slight chance it would pass but i'd say it has a better chance of detailing mostly because of the number of them.

VF details (scratched) if I was to guess i'd say it has about 60% chance of going straight

Nice coin! Scratches most likely detail it, but I have seen worse straight graded. VF-20
