    No, it won't get a number grade. scratch kills it. But, it is a cheap coin already graded, just sell and buy what you want in the grade you want.

    Nice MS64RD, PCGS, just sold for $50. Be patient and you'll find one.

    Put a photo of it here. MS70 coins in change are an exceptional rarity.

    The corrosion spots are a bigger problem than the scratch. Both defects would disqualify the coin from getting a straight grade.

    That cent would be a candidate for an album..... Not for a slab. Cheers, RickO
