Wonderful old gold. GLWS.

Nice looking coin. Where was the repair performed? I sure can't find it.

Under 10x magnification I see a slight rough area about 3mm between the ear and chin along with some hairlines. But I am also unsure of where the repair was done. In hand the coin has a very good look.
The TrueView makes me think it is the E Pluribus Unum on reverse. That area looks a bit weird in the TrueView.

I originally thought that might be the area but it seems there may have been some mint originated issues with that part of the reverse. If the repair was done there, it was not complete.
I found several numerically graded examples with issues around "Pluribus" including this XF45 that CAC seemed to like:

I can’t really tell either but with all those hairlines looks like someone tried to buff out the repair.
