Guess this would come back details damage, or rim damage?

I like the color.

Another impulse buy of mine at $13.

Details big time. I think the dings really hurt the value. I rather have a lowball problem free coin.

Really? Big time?

Aside from that one big ding at 10 o'clock I don't see anything else that would cause a details grade, if that did give it a details grade.

Do you?

Well amida, it was my last $13!

No... truthfully I'm just trying to learn some grading standards.

Wasn't sure if there were things other than the dings that made it stand out as details.

Rather than details grade, that one deserves an "OUCH" grade!

Ok, but is it just the one or two dings on the rim that make it details, or would the ones on the surface contribute to the details grade as well?

both would. Lots of these for sale for less than 25 dollars that have minimal problems and better eye appeal.

I like the color too Arael.

Rim damage is in the eye of the beholder.

Yes details grade for sure, not only the rim dings on the obverse at 10:00 & 11:00 but the damaged field at 4:00 and 5:00 plus the reverse rim dings, and dent at 5:00.
Color is nice though. EAC grade would be around net Good 6 to Very Good 8.
