It could have been a wonderful original VF25.

Tough coin! At least it has survived and, even with those digs, it looks pretty darn nice.

I found a 1907 D Barber Dime in the wild that looked like a shark took a bite out of it and decided it didn't taste good. Too bad re the tough date, though.

Yes very sad. I wonder how a problem coin dealer friend (deceased) would have priced it.
I was going to say, all damaged coins are sad. Your sad coin beats my sad coin by a mile, probably ten miles!! 😂 🤣

Damaged certainly but still a very nice 70-CC. I'd sooner have an original (with "original damage") of that vs. a otherwise nice but cleaned/hairlined piece, or a bright new scratch, etc.
I do agree it's a shame, but it's still an appealing piece in spite of the old dig.
