The_Duke Pillar of the Community United States 1745 Posts	Posted 07/26/2010 4:39 pm I would go VF35. The obverse is EF but the reverse brings it down a tad. Report this Post to the Staff
macmercury Pillar of the Community United States 5832 Posts	Posted 07/26/2010 7:23 pm Denver and San Francisco mint during the early years of 1917-1928 has always exhibit weakness in the strike normally in the center of obverse and reverse, would be hard to find even wear circulated pieces. VF 35 indeed. Report this Post to the Staff

Dcreek1968 Valued Member United States 314 Posts	Posted 08/01/2010 08:31 am I agree with "the duke", "macmercury" and "busthalf". VF30-35. The obverse is very nice but the wear on the lower diagonal band causing it to disappear at the upper left wipes you out of any consideration for EF. Additionally, the lack of separation of the lower vertical banding takes away from EF consideration. Still, '17-S is one of the better dates. My $.02 Report this Post to the Staff
