1918/7-S VF. 1918/7-S VF.
Lot Title: 1918/7-S VF.
Description: In your cataloger's experience, the most reliable diagnostic of a genuine overdate Standing Liberty quarter is the presence of a small tine that projects upward from the top of the "1" in the date, just a little right of center, and needless to say, it is present on this coin. In spite of the conservative grade of VF-30 that has been assigned, bidders may be surprised to discover some residual mint luster remaining in the fields of this pewter-grey coin. The original surface quality is a significant bonus, but an accurate description requires mention of a small rim ding at 11:00 on the reverse.

This lot may contain an item not certified by ANACS, PCGS, or NGC. While Scotsman Auction Co. is typically conservative in our descriptions of items not certified by one of these companies, we cannot guarantee our grading estimation will match their grade. We highly recommend that collectors seeking items certified by a third-party grading service only bid on items that have already been certified. No lot can be returned because of a variance in judgment with regards to grade.

Low Estimate: $2,900.00
High Estimate: $3,400.00

547The Midwest Summer Sale 2012 on 07/27/2012$3,000.00
1918-S PCGS MS-64FH CAC.
Very pretty light golden patina filters across unblemished surfaces, but doesn't overcome the luster to any unfavorable extent. Liberty's head is finely embellished, while the shield has the usual...
417The Collectors' Auction 2010 on 10/15/2010$2,800.00
1918/7-S PCGS F-15.
While fairly reasonable in value at the Fine level and below, higher grade examples of 1918/17-S become substantially more expensive, and for many collectors, an F-15 coin will serve quite well in...
418The Collectors' Auction 2010 on 10/15/2010$9,500.00
1918/7-S PCGS AU-55.
Prodigious luster must have been present when this overdate quarter was struck, because a commendable portion of the surface still retains cartwheel effect, and this despite light remnants of toning...
649The Midwest Winter Sale 2009 on 02/13/2009$11,750.00
1918/7-S PCGS AU-55.
Extensive mint luster provides much of the appeal of an uncirculated piece, though wear is just beginning to show on Liberty's shin and lower thigh. A good strike probably delivered close to full...
650The Midwest Winter Sale 2009 on 02/13/2009$650.00
1918-S PCI MS-64 FH.
Brazen, full head details are about as bold and as strong as your cataloger has ever seen on a 1918-S Standing Liberty quarter. Sculpted in full-blown three dimensional detail, the hair is defined...
1072The Collector's Auction on 10/20/2006$3,500.00
1918/17-S XF-40.
A tough overdate to obtain, regardless of grade. This example has strong XF details, but the surfaces are a little odd, and the reverse has some light porosity. Even so, this coin is worthy of a...
1294The Midwest Summer Sale 2006 on 07/21/2006$13,750.00
1918/17-S SEGS MS-61 FH Cleaned/Retoned.
This coin is tougher than the 1916 in Uncirculated condition. The one offered here has an amazing strike, but it has unfortunately has been cleaned. Yes, at some point in time someone cleaned this...
