This is a super tough coin and type. I think you got a great deal.
I like that you can see all the design details - not always true for fair coins.
And although it's a details coin, to me the obverse scratches are just part of its history. It's not surprising that a coin this well-used might accumulate some scratches.

A similar coin (NGC JR-2 Fair Details, damaged and not close to yours in terms of eye appeal) hammered for $146.88 at Heritage last month. I'd call that a hint.  |

It's a very nice example of a FR2. I've seen less detailed examples gor for more and with less eye appeal, like a cleaning.
You did good :-)
My opinion, crack it out!

What type set album do you have that has a slot for a draped bust dime? Or are you making your own type set?
