the grade is damaged.

 

No open or closed choices on this coin. There are arrows on either side of the date making this variety 5 which indicates a change to the weight of the Dime. The open and closed variety only occurs on variety 4.

Variety 5 was only minted in 1873 and 1874, then the increased weight was used and the design was back to variety 4 (no arrows) from 1875 until 1891 when the end of Liberty Seated Dimes ended.

 

PS. If in G-4 it should bring about $10-$12 if clean and undamaged.

 

100% correct. I forgot to pay attention to the arrow presence. Still an 'open' 3 style though.

 

G4? Are we looking at the same coin?

 

Yes, I said "if" as a reference.

 

Good point on the arrows!
I assume it’s VF Details “Obverse Scratches” correct?

 

Disagree on VF details. F details possibly. $10 is in the ballpark.
A damaged coin is always going to be damaged and a problem.
