    Wow . . . NICE COIN, even with the pinprick at 11:00.

    There's some kind of minor damage near the star above Liberty's forehead and on the reverse in the "C" of "10 C". Repaired hole? (seems too small though)

    It is not a hole. It is, as a pinprick, as @ToughCOINS describes. Minor, but it is there.

    All things being equal it might be VF-15, however
    it's 200 years old and key dates get a little leeway.
    This one is nicer than the other one. I am VF-20.

    You'll need more than that to finish your grading set for the date, just saying...

    What exactly is a pinprick? Did it literally get pricked by a pin or other pointy object?
    If so, why is the damage evident on both sides of the coin?
