BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 07/25/2013 5:51 pm I would have guessed VF details. Doesn't appear to have XF meat left on the reverse. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
randy0050 Valued Member United States 246 Posts	Posted 07/25/2013 5:55 pm so its a details coin ? IYO Edited by randy0050 07/25/2013 5:55 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Joe2007 Pillar of the Community United States 3843 Posts	Posted 07/25/2013 6:07 pm I have to agree with BH1964. I don't think that it quite makes it to XF details and the scratches/damage on the obverse do warrant a details grade. Report this Post to the Staff

No, they're obvious and not at all "minor" in a numismatic sense. I say this only for education, not to be aggressive, just so you know for the future. I can see the XF Details grade - the shield, head, cap and stars still show decent detail. The reverse leaf details seem grade-appropriate if other examples in reputable slabs are an indication.
