Is this ding bad enough it won’t straight grade?

Really?
Yes.
Yup details holder.
I would think yes.
Does it matter? In a holder or out of a holder, the buyer is either willing to overlook the rim ding or not. A ding like that isn't like AT or Cleaned as a red flag to a buyer. Take a nice looking coin and put it in a cleaned details holder and you've impaired the coin in the marketplace. Put that 1814 in a Genuine - rim damage holder and it probably enhances the value because it is authenticated and everyone can see the rim ding anyway.
All comments reflect the opinion of the author, even when irrefutably accurate.
Probably get a details grade, but at least authenticated. Cheers, RickO
Yes, unfortunately.
But it is always a good question to ask with CBH's. Many have what appear to be rim damage but they simply suffered from poor edge lettering (running up the rim).

I think so.

For reference, here is a Morgan with a rim bump. I reached out to customer service prior to submission and here was their response:
_Hi Mr. Herring,
There’s a possibility that it would be able to be graded.
Of course the graders must see the coin in hand before being able to make a determination. _
I submitted it and received a straight grade but even this hit was questionable.
I wouldn't have had the slightest doubt about that Morgan. Small rim bumps are usually forgiven.
I don't know where the line is drawn; I suspect there is no hard-and-fast rule and that it is a judgment call. It is also possible that a rim ding isn't bad enough to bodybag the coin but it might effect the coin's grade.

I would say details grade
