    Can we see the whole slab?

    Why?? Cheers, RickO

    I figure there is not much downside. It's not like it's in a straight graded holder now.

    As the scratch is plainly visible in your photo I'm not at all certain that it will be considered as MA by another TPG. But if you deem it worth the try then do it.

    Leave it as is. The small white ANACS holders seem to have somewhat of a following these days and all you are likely to get with a crackout is a "genuine" holder and an expense for the new slab.

    I think it should be submitted!

    From the pics, that scratch seems insignificant to me.

    Probably worth a try.... It is a nice coin. Cheers, RickO

    I’d probably try it, and try it again if it didn’t work the first time. There isn’t all that much downside. Pretty coin.

    I believe that it too will straight grade

    Unless the scratch from star 12 to Liberty's nose is much more obvious than in the photo.....whixh is the problem from grading from photos.
    As to eye appeal the bust is extremely appealing toning wise.

    I would wager that right field scratch was light but fresh when submitted. Over the years in the Old Holder it has toned over the scratch to where it is reasonably acceptable now. I would crack and submit. No following for the Old Small Holder ANACS graded coins is going to help IMHO being in a problem Holder.

    I have a half dozen PCGS straight graded Jeffs with scratches so.....anything is possible.
    Here's one of them.

    Like to add, there are scratches from other coins and there are staple scratches.

    Good point. Is there a way to darken a light scratch on a silver coin without disturbing the attractive original toning surrounding the scratch in order to make it look a little less noticeable? Perhaps storing it in an old Kraft coin envelope for a few months in a warm environment.

    I think the whole coin toned over, not just the scratch. These holders are notorious for that. Pretty sure it has something to do with the paper used for the label.

    I was asking a general hypothetical question. I assume professional graders would treat a small thin scratch that's fresh and shiny differently than a similar scratch that's old and toned over.
