1918/7-S Quarter, MS62
Sharp Temple on Liberty

1918/7-S 25C FS-101 MS62 PCGS. The 1918/7-S quarter dollar is one of the biggest key issues in the Standing Liberty series, and that scarcity is most profound in Mint State. The overdate quarter is seldom seen in any Uncirculated grade, and this issue's tendency to be weakly struck makes Full Head pieces an unrealistic acquisition for most collectors. Non-Full Head Mint State pieces generally have one of two "looks" -- those that are deficiently struck and those that are just outside of the Full Head category of sharpness. The latter coins are by far the less often seen of the two. This piece is one of the latter coins. Liberty's head is sharp at the temple and lacks an FH designation only because of weakness around the ear. Satiny luster illuminates mostly untoned surfaces, with wisps of amber-lilac toning on the obverse. No major abrasions are seen, despite the MS62 grade. On the reverse, typical strike softness affects the leading edge of the eagle's left (facing) wing, although this cataloger has never seen a 1918/7-S -- even a Full Head coin -- that was sharp on this feature. The present coin is about as good as it gets without the FH designation. Population: 23 in 62, 61 finer (8/20).
