Fine 15
I see 12 as reasonable... I am having an issue with the obverse scratch(es)
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
I love the coin, but wouldn't be surprised if it had received a details grade for scratch or graffiti.

I would guess F12 if it didn't details for obv scratch.
Ees not a scratch, it’s a flesh wound
Fine detail scratched

F12. BIG rev die crack.
What is a flesh wound? It does look like it goes under the star so is that mean a planchet flaw?
As you suggested It is straight graded.
Edit, I see what you mean, not terminal.
F15 without the damage. It would not surprise me to see it receive a fine details grade.

It’s pretty cool never felt more secure with my investment and now I watch a lot of Kelsey Grammer, patriot wars etc.
Congrats, I really like it.

I was going to guess the grade but realized I would have been wrong based on how little had to be covered up on the label.

F12. Recently acquired?
Anyway, it looks like O-107 T-31 (R.5).

F12.
Yeah she’s got a toned-over scratch, but the coin simply has too much going for it to detail it over that, IMO.
Very nice 👍

F15. I’ll take it! 😉
Y'all guys are good the 12s have it.
Thanks for all the input
Great, truly a good looking coin for 230+ year old beauty.

I knew so I didn't want to guess ... but @Coinscratch knows how I feel. What a great coin overall!

Thanks, Todd! I will definitely be enjoying it until I find an upgrade. 👍
Great coin with a lot of character!
I'm assuming with the issues it would be unusual for a fine to get the 15 grade (choice). Fine 18 also used to be used at one point I think. "Understanding Fine 18
• Definition: An F-18 coin has moderate-to-heavy even wear, but retains slightly more major design details than an F-12 or F-15".
Yes, picked up at a small show in Houston last month. I think they had 40 or 50 tables.
I would net graded it to VG-10 because of the scratches. You can find these coins with original surfaces which don’t have them.
Nice, I would have guessed 15.
