Imagine my surprise when I looked at my change and saw a really nice looking 1999 D Nickel here:
only to turn it over and seeing pretty nice looking steps, only to see the gouge right in the middle of the steps and then the other gouge between 'five' and 'cents'.
How badly does damage like that affect the over-all grading of the coin?

Given the images posted, the '99 D likely falls in the low to mid AU range. In addition to the hits on the reverse, the obverse is showing circulation dings as well--perhaps not as dramatic, but they're there. Coin could be a decent album hole filler until better comes along.
