Not mine. I've been watching this one because it has both slanted 5s and the knob on ear thingy.

I want a coin with both of those attributes, and this would knock out 2 birds with one stone, but...

Are all those rim dings enough to make it a details coin?

Thanks

I think it would get a details grade because of rim damage.

Probably details.
However, because they aren't that severe, it may pass....on a good day.

The rim bruise at 5 o'clock is an indication of a dropped coin.
Some may call it problem free but with that indicator..it's a problem coin along with the other two dings.

I believe what Vermont said that bump goes through the reverse and will definatlely get a details grade. Some coins like my 16/16 buffalo I sent to pcgs had a big mold spot and scratches on face came back VG 10 they discounted the grade rather than detail because of rarity. I would keep looking depending on price but to give you a gage a slabbed ngc au details cleaned is asking $195. And I think cleaned if far better than all that's going on with your coin

A lot of copper coins have rim bumps. Some more than others. As a copper collector I prefer unslabbed coins so I don't care what the TPGs say. Rim bumps really do affect the price of a copper coin though and I try to avoid them if possible. The 55 knob ears are fairly expensive but I would hold off and look for a problem free coin.
