Help grading a 21-S Walker

What technical grade would you assign this 21-S Walker? I know it has some rim and surface issues but I like it! Thanks for your grade input!

    I would guess VF details, not a bad looking coin.

    Reverse is better than the obverse - net VF25. Maybe a details coin because of the rim ding but since you aren't going to get it professionally graded who really cares? A nice Walker for an album.

    I'm between 25 and 30. The reverse is way stronger imho. Thanks for the input! I am not at all familiar with this date. Got her for a bargain price at a recent show.

    I am in the VF camp. Like the yellowish effect on/around the 🌞

    vf25 in details; the significant rim ding (whether or not arbitrarily considered by a TPG to be enough to consign it to "details grade) devalues it from there, to me.

    VF20 for me. (nice reverse)

    Agree, very close to or at VF 30.

    VF details

    I'd go VF-20. The mark on the obverse rim is there, and it knocks off at least 5 points, but I think that it should grade.

    I see it straight graded as a VF20

    VF20 details. A coin that should sell easily to a collector working on an album collection.

    It’s a strong VF 30is but that rim ding might cost it a grade. That said album buyer will pay a premium (discounted) price for that coin
