Creeboy..I took the images and brightened them up a little. I could see some marks at the 12 to 1:00 position above the headdress..take a peek..
Not to sure what those marks are..I would send it in to PCGS or NGC...If marks are no big deal then I say MS61-62. Some small marks and light scratches. Look just above the "E" in Liberty and you will see either a die crack or contact mark..I cant tell..with old gold it can be difficult to say the least!

I would call it an au-55-58, keep in mind these are inordinately hard to grade from pictures.

Also, what are the marks at 9:00 in front of the nose and top lip?
Could be clash marks.

I wouldn't submit the coin for grading, it's a body bag candidate because of the scratches.
