[QUOTE="Insider, post: 2333861, member: 24314"]I'm going to disagree. IMHO (now remove the H :happy:) the OP coin will straight grade at any major grading service. Grading is a "degree" thing. How much whatever. You are discussing a "major hairline" on the reverse (that may actually disappear as the coin is rotated) as if it were dug into the coin and a major distraction. The actual scratch on this coin is on/under the flag on the obverse. Since it is old and not bright like the hairline; and due to the low grade of the piece, I believe it will be ignored ALSO. One "rebel" grading instructor teaches his students to see everything there is possible to see on a coin and then to "back-off" a bit (when needed) in order to "get in step" with the folks in the real world!
