I think this would just barely sneak into AU-50 by the skin of it's teeth, however the rim problem gives it a details designation. It also possibly had a cleaning in the past but has been well covered by patina if it has.
Regardles its a very attractive coin, probably was a very well struck example

More than likely this coin has seen the grading services and was detailed.
I think it has had some rim repairs to try and straighten out the damage caused when it was dropped. The reeding and rim appears to have been filed.
It's a details coin and always will be. Still very collectible.

I'll say AU-50 sharpness, but tell us more about the rim issue.

AU-50, details from the rim dent, and the surfaces look previously cleaned.

 with Zurie. i'd say the price is pretty good as its a good 50% discount over retail if it makes AU. if it comes in at XF45 then...not so good

Thanks to all for sharing your thoughts. I'll post about the rim when I have it in hand. Some of these are so crusty that you can't tell what the original design looked like. I saw it and liked the look of the coin.

AU-50 details, rim damage/cleaned. Looks like they used a file to try to smooth out the rim bump.

Not my kind of coin. (referring to the surfaces and such, I actually really like Seated dollars dispite only seeing photos of them) But its still a nice coin Regardless, and if you're happy then that's really the most important thing. Also just looked at the NGC price guide, and it looks like you got a good deal as well.
