Seller was breaking a set so I was able to snag a couple of upgrades for the Dansco. This 1918-S should do nicely as a replacement for the AG-G coin currently in that slot

Grade/thoughts welcomed.

Nice coin ... my opinion is F12/F15 cleaned.

This is indeed a classic beauty of the USA coinage set - congratulations for sharing such a lovely coin.

Alas - to your coin - The cleaning evidence is clear to me ... perhaps not so to others ... look at the dark surfaces on the perimeter devices - compare that look to the fields ... what do you say?

Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art

Technical Grade 15. Eye Appeal 5/10. No hint of cleaning, just plain old circulation rub. I like it.

I do not have the coins yet -- just won the auctions today -- so I will re-shoot the photos once they are in hand. I won all three of these with "no harm" bids, so if they turn out to be junkers, I'll just throw them back into the next batch of 90% to get sold.

Could be a good buy, if the seller and buyer clearly recognize
'details cleaned' along with F15.

It would make a nice replacement for AG-G, at the right price.

For the three coins posted today I paid $22.80 total. Free shipping. I had $4.86 in ebay bucks which dropped it down a bit more.

I'm ok if it ends up being cleaned. It still looks decent. I'll show you the one it's replacing after I get this one in hand; the one it's replacing is much worse :P

Much better in hand, full VF25-VF30 but a very flat strike. May have been very lightly wiped at some point but has no other real signs of poor treatment.

This is the existing one it is replacing (the light in here is an orangish LED and makes everything look orange unless I go fix it)
