Standing Liberty Quarters
1918/7-S 25C FS-101 MS63 PCGS. Despite the clear overdate feature, the 1918/7-S quarter was not publicly recognized until the late 1930s, when collecting U.S. coin series by date and mintmark had become widespread practice. The number of pieces struck with the overdated obverse has been estimated to be as low as 2,500 coins, and the vast majority of survivors are circulated -- often heavily. The 1918/7-S is the scarcest issue in the Standing Liberty quarter series in Mint State, and Full Head coins in such condition are prohibitively rare and expensive.
This Select non-Full Head coin is high-end for the issue. The preservation is excellent for the grade, showing no mentionable abrasions. Liberty's head, the shield rivets, and the central eagle exhibit the usual strike weakness, although the date in fully defined with its 8/7 feature plain. Both sides are satiny and display a hint of champagne color over brilliant luster. A high-end example for the grade. Population: 25 in 63, 26 finer (10/16).
