What to do with scratched 1839-O 1/2 dime repunched dt

[cookscoins-migration]

please be patient while pictures load This is an 1839-O (regular O) That is an excellent coin in AU or UNC condition, but which has scratches on it (pointed out in purple).

The coin also appears to have a re-punched date on the obverse, and a clashed die, or doubling on the reverse. Also noticiable near the ME in AMERICA on the rev. (pointed out in red)-- (see photos).

Would NGC grade this coin giving it credit if I ask for variety+, or, due to the "graffiti", would they return it, ungraded.

As a newbie I appreciate any help in this matter.

NGC will not grade that coin because of the graffiti on it. NGC also does not recognize that variety at this time.

Your coin could be placed in an NCS Details Grade holder. Your coin would be encapsulated with a grade of the details and noting the scratch. Unfortunately, NCS also would not recognize that variety.
