Got these Half Dimes cheap, wanted to get your opinion about the grade. One is not too bad but has an ugly mark on the rim.

I'll take a stab at this.

1856-O Obverse Fair 2 Reverse AG3

1857 XF but the rim dig and scratch under dime hurts.

1857-O Fine-12? I can't tell if all letters of liberty are complete.

I'd say:

1856-O ... G-4
1857 ... EF-40
1857-O ... F-12

The scratches and dings don't alter the grade, but they do alter the value.

thanks for your opinions.
Seems you all agree more or less about the grades. I always have problems with such grades.
