How would you grade this 1838 O No Stars Type 1 Liberty Seated Dime?

I feel the Reverse holds it to FR02 and probably a details FR02. What is your opinion?

FR02. I think it's a toss-up on details - scratched.
Nice looks. I don't see a details grade even with the scratch. I think it could pull off an AG-3.

middle of FR2 to AG3; nice coin; keep it raw
I think this has enough meat for AG03
According to Photograde, a legible reverse is required. Certainly not my field, but curious. The obverse does appear AG03, but I felt the reverse was lacking. Thank you to all responding.

Yeah, 2
2, straight grade

It should grade as a 2.
Fr-2

To me, the reverse does anchor it to a FR 2.
Well... Going against the tide here, but looks like an AG03 to me. Cheers, RickO
Fair 2. It should grade.

Too much for a P01 and not enough detail for AG3... I'm in the Fr2 camp too.

Thank you for your replies. I feel we all, for the most part, think FR02 should be its grade.

2 - keep rubbing and the scratch will disappear and maybe a 01 eventually.

Cool looking coin, how much did you get it for?
Type collector, mainly into Seated. Young Numismatist.
Probably less than I would sell it for.
