Thanks for all the guidance here. I am going to venture a guess on this one based on previous opinions.
On the high side, VF-10 details, rim damage.
Anywhere close?

Dowhat, that seems to be an accurate assessment to me.
Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

I'd put this closer to VF30 Details, ED and rim hit (rim hit being more distracting). There is strike weakness Seen in the hair above the ear and in the III on the reverse. These are typical spots of weakness. If you focus more on the mid relief points and the leaves of the wreath, you can get a better feel for wear vs. strike weakness. Majority of the leaves have 80%+ of their details, same as the ribbon and bow. There is complete separation of the hair above the brow, and I'd say ~75% of the hair still holds it's detail. You would see a lot less detail and flatness in the VG-F.

That said, just my observations, I'm far from an expert with 3CN. I do prefer them to their silver counterparts (I'll probably be the minority)
