I see it as VG-10, possibly F-12.
But the hits on the obverse at K-8 (and maybe K-4) plus the one on the reverse at K-7 will probably result in a DETAILS grade.

But it is a pleasant appearing example.

looks like F sharpness but has issues like the 2 dents. I think I might look for an upgrade. These are not overly expensive and you could find a nicer one for under $40

Agree F details (rim damage), but a nice original-looking example.
