The seller's pictures are poor and make this coin look sick but they still show the features pretty well. Please give me your opinion on grade and whether the scratches on the reverse side shield are enough to warrant a Details grade or negatively impact the overall grade. THANK YOU!!

i think its between VG8 and VG10 with the reverse holding it VG8.
multiple scratch on the reverse will most likely detail this coin. there is one across UNUM, two across the shield and a long one across the arrows to the rim.

Agree with VG-8. I think the scratches would detail a high grade coin, but probably not one with this degree of wear.

VG-10. I could see if getting netted down to VG-08 with the scratches, but I don't think it is enough to details a VG coin.
