possible no grade?

I would like an opinion on this 1803 draped bust reverse. The O in of has a scratch running though it. Is it enough to get a no grade? Was hoping for leinancey for age and size of coin.

ok found the pic...

CONS

You have the scratch ..
It has rim issues
some what looks like environmental damage on the obverse
the wear on the obverse looks un-natural

PROS

Other then the above looks REALLY NICE .. Almost too nice to be genuine for the age.

Where did you get it ?

Lastly i hate to say this .. but i will ... I actually would send it to NGC and I only say this for one reason ( AND I HOPE PCGS FIXES THIS ) they may grade it genuine but will at least say ( XF DETAILS ) or something in that fashion that at least give it more value then just a body bag

Got it off e-bay really liked the condition but soon realized the scratch could effect the grade but also i've heard of lienancy on older larger coins. yes i did recognize a little unatural looking fade on the obverse but could have been effect caused 150 plus years ago and so i was hoping the strong details would carry the coin as it was considered au grade.
