Guys, what do you think of this 1873 Seated Liberty dime /w Arrows? I think the obverse looks better than the reverse. Maybe XF40/VF30.   |

I'll say VF details (ED, scratched).

Where do you see the Environmental Damage? |

I'd say Net VF35, possibly XF. Likely Details as well with the two scratches. 1st running N-S across the right leg and through the shield. 2nd running E-W in the fields across the left leg and looks like it may even carry into the shield.

I'm at XF details also due to the deep vertical scratch across the shield

I am torn whether or not I should make an offer. At regular magnification size, I think the scratch will not be (or barely) visible. And it would be the final coin to complete my dime set...

I think the details are VF(30-35). I am comparing it to an 1837 Seated dime I have that I sent off to PCGS 10 years ago and was slabbed as EF(40). This coin's details seem slightly softer. |

Made an offer to the seller. We'll see what it looks like in hand. If not appealing, I can always return it.

To me, the splotchy dark toning (especially on the reverse} might be built-up oxidation due to ED.

I don't like the area around the date. I say cleaned and retoned

This date often has a flat strike; this one could make XF-40 for detail. The dark toning is approaching corrosion and the scratches don't help.
You should be able to find a better example at a reasonable price.
