Will the rim bumps prevent a grade?

Rim bumps at 3ish and 9ish are mildly concerning. Full size.

    I hope not. I can't even see them.

    Did you crop them out?

    Not unless they have been altered somehow.

    The only one I see is between the 11 & 12 position and I say that will not prevent a straight grade. I would be more concerned about the hairlines beginning at the 4 o'clock position. Is that from a long ago cleaning or circulation?

    8 O'clock, star 1 on obverse has a rim distortion with wear.

    This will be iffy.

    At S1 and S12. I share your concern.



    I wouldn't call them rim bumps. It looks like the rims have been squeezed a little. Ex-jewelry is likely.



    Still, they are minor. You might get lucky.

    The scratches by her foot going out onto the rim are not going to help matters.

    It's a wobbler depending on who's looking at the piece when you submit.

    It might depend on what the edge looks like?



    If it looks like two "drops" that just happened to be opposite one another, then they may be forgiven at this grade level. If the edge/reeding have depressions that look like a mount, maybe not?

    If the edge at the distortion on the rim is flat and damaged it will be hit or miss. IMO, due to the age/grade of the coin it will straight grade. IMO, it has NOT been in jewelry and there are no signs of repair.

    I would be image if it doesn`t grade for this specific reason

    I'd be more concerned about the possibility of rough surfaces from silver corrosion than I would about the rim nicks. That coin might have been buried in the ground for a while.

    It shouldn't be in a graded holder as it is a problem coin. As the coin market shrinks, coins with seemingly minor problems, such as this coin, will become less and less acceptable ... until they lose acceptability altogether.

    Those rim bumps aren't that bad.

    I say gradeable

    How come there is an "8" in the middle of all those scratches? Also looks like another number hidden to the left of the 8.

    Could be. Sure looks like some raised portion of a number to the left of the 8 lookalike.

    Also, I will say the questioned areas stand out much more in the uncropped photo. So, I share your concern.
