It also is heavily scratched, presumably from a misguided attempt to clean it. I might call it VF-20 for detail. In high grades the 1910-S is scarce and expensive but in this condition it is only worth bullion value. Report this Post to the Staff

I would grade a bit higher though, around VF-35 details...most of the details are pretty clear. Report this Post to the Staff
christopher walton Valued Member United States 82 Posts	Posted 02/28/2011 6:02 pm This piece is got a grade of "XF Details - Harshly Cleaned". Will it still be bullion value? Report this Post to the Staff
