Notes:
"1910-D&S...
are fairly scarce. We know the "S" is scarce because of its low
mintage, but the scarcity of 1910-D is as yet unexplained.
1910-D also does not come with a good
strike - many times the details are shallow. Add to this unattractive
toning that quite a few high grade certified pieces have, and you will
likely find it difficult to be satisfied with this date."1
The finest Uncirculated example graded
by PCGS is a single MS-67.
