Draped Bust Dollar Grading Question

This coin received a Details grade due to a planchet flaw, code 93. Do you think if I cracked it out and resubmitted it, it would have a reasonable chance at a straight grade? Or is the flaw too large or distracting to warrant a straight grade?

Thanks!

    Although it is probably as made, I don't see it getting a straight grade.

    I would guess not. The assigned grade may actually help you sell it since at first glance it looks like PMD. Decent originality though and unfortunately it detracts from the value.

    can't hurt to try. I have a half dime that didn't grade the first time due to planchet flaw. Second time was a charm

    I'd rather own that coin raw than in a no grade holder. It's as made, and declining to grade it for a production issue seems wrongheaded to me.
