Description
Fully Struck 1918 Standing Liberty Quarter With Awesome, Colorful Toning
1918 25C MS67 Full Head PCGS. This is one of the most beautiful Standing Liberty Quarters of any date that this cataloger has had the privilege of describing. We hesitate to say that the technical quality embodied in the Full Head designation is of secondary desirability to the awe-inspiring eye appeal of the original toning, but such a statement is not far from the truth. Rainbow colored patina encircles the obverse periphery in a mottled fashion with speckles of mostly tan-russet iridescence scattered over the reverse. The luster is full on both sides, as is the strike. More of a strike rarity than the 1917 Type Two and 1919, only 5% of the 14.2 million Quarters that the Philadelphia Mint delivered in 1918 display Full Head definition (per Jay Cline). NGC and PCGS combined report only 11 coins at the MS67 Full Head level, and there are none finer (10/02).From the St. Louis Collection.
