Blemished  or not, it is still a beautiful coin and a great find!!

I've done that, always wondered if you don't own up to the scratch and blame it on mother nature if that changes the value? ?

Awesome coin!

Even with the scratch which looks old, the value should be high considering it’s Details being at least Extra Fine.

Thats still an awesome looking coin!  If you sent it in for grading, like NGC, my guess they would grade it XF Details Scratched.
