I see an F12 coin that has been cleaned.

F15, maybe an old cleaning. As a semi-key it likely gets into a straight grade holder. If the obverse dirt doesn't come off with acetone, leave it alone.

If there is in fact pitting or other issues under the dirt, then it's a details-ED coin.

ANACS gave this a straight grade F-12. It might have an old cleaning, and the substance on the obverse is partially raised above the surface. It doesn't appear to be corrosion, but grease or grime is a possibility. There are also scratches above ONE on the reverse. So, I decided to return it, unfortunately.

Depends on the price and your goals I guess. Lots of Barber dimes look like this but not that many 1904-S come up.

No way this goes straight at PCGS or NGC.

w/coinfrog it wouldnt grade straight at PCGS or NGC. the vertical scratches up and downs the bust is enough to detail it. I think ANACS netted it down a grade rather that detail it.
