I picked three ugly, but raw, and very old coins out of my albums for fun. All of them have "issues". This one looks okay, until you flip it over, and then...ouch. Whoever did this to this coin (not me) needs to suffer.

Yes, it's a details coin, but if it wasn't, what would you grade it?

Price paid: $9

VG details, the scratches are obvious and there is plenty of wear on all surfaces

VG-8.

With complete rims on both sides, no less...
... still "VG-8 details, damaged"

BTW, can't go wrong for $9

I, surprisingly enough do not even own a seated half, so I'd pay $9 all day long.
