[QUOTE="susanlynn9, post: 34418, member: 1258"]I've seen various rim nicks that didn't affect the overall grade and some that did. I know how subjective this is going to sound, but it all depends on how distracting it is. On the Seated Liberty quarter, I see a very sharp strike, great head detail, and sharp design details. The fields are pretty clear. I don't see a rim ding at 8 o'clock, but I do see a darker area at 4 o'clock on the obverse (is this lighting, toning, or a mark?) and two small ones at 5 o'clock and 6:30 on the reverse. Assuming that the dark area on the obverse is toning, this coin is in EF40 condition in my opinion. I don't tend to deduct for very small nicks on the reverse, though they should always be disclosed upon the sale of the coin. I'm sure that there are others who don't agree with this method, but I know what works for me. Hey Prethen, see if you can see these pictures. They're taken right from the auction.[/QUOTE]
