1918/7-S Standing Liberty Quarter, MS64
Highly Lustrous Example of This Key Issue

1918/7-S 25C FS-101 MS64 PCGS. The scarcity of the 1918/7-S quarter in Mint State is far and away greater than that of any other issue in the series. The exact mintage of the overdate is unknown. The coins circulated extensively in the Western U.S., and by the time the variety was discovered by the numismatic world in the late 1930s, most examples were either well-worn or completely lost to circulation. The unprotected date on the early Type Two design wore away quickly in circulation, and was thus a significant hindrance on the survival rate of many pre-1925 quarters, with the overdate being perhaps the most severe case. Estimates suggest that fewer than 100 Uncirculated examples of the 1918/7-S are extant, Full Head and non-Full Head pieces combined, and this figure may be somewhat inflated by resubmissions. This piece is among the finest three dozen or so pieces known of this rare hubbing error. The brilliant surfaces exude bright, shimmering mint frost that is virtually unaffected by abrasions. Liberty's head detail is just a bit short of complete, lacking only detailing around the ear.
