This one is giving me fits...haven't quite gotten to the point where I know just how to grade a coin with obvious damage. Do you judge the two sides, make a grade deduction for the problems, and assign it a net grade?
What grade would you assign it if it were a part of your collection? And, how did you decide to assign it that grade? Thanks.

I don't agree with net-grading, as ANACS had done years ago.
I'd simply call this VF35/XF40 Details
LIBERTY is strong, nice gown details.
It's hard to grade the reverse of these coins, in my opinion.

My reasoning behind the net grade question is - I have a 1944 SL Dime in an ANACS slab thats graded: "Very Fine Details-Scratched-Net F12" so I assumed that the problems associated with this coin would probably reduce the overall grade as well.
Those of you who answered agree its in the Very Fine range. I agree, so thats what I'll inventory it as. Thanks much for your help.

The coin is damaged but the overall appeal really isn't too bad. I agree with a VF-35 details grade. There is a big spread between values for a F-12 and a VF-20 grade on this date. I expect the value of this coin should be closer to the VF end of the spread.
I suspect a lot of collectors would find this coin to be acceptable for their set!

I would say that overall the detail is EF-40 based on the drapery and hair, I suspect the shield doesnt show up well in the photo especially with the damage. I'd say value around 50-55% of normal with the damage and scratches on liberty, because the reverse is nice.

ANACS had stopped doing net grading, and rightfully so.
They are giving another opinion on an already opinionated matter. Who's to say how a scratch, cleaning, or whatever should knock it down? There is is no standard to it which is why a lot of people do not agree with the net grading.
None of those affect the grade/details of the coin. Your 1844 would still be a VF20 coin with a scratch, which is what they would say now if it were to be sent in.

Not to beat a dead horse, but...
I decided to post the seller's photos of the 1844 simce you brought it up. I assume the scratch is referring to those on the reverse.
Old slab, old grading standards...but I freed it from it's plastic prison, and it now resides in my Dansco Album with 85 other "sister" SL Dimes.
