Lot 2700
1918/7-S Liberty Standing Quarter Dollar. NGC graded AU-55. A well struck example with the overdate quite distinct. Some luster remains. A very desirable untoned example of this key-date rarity. In describing it in greater detail, we see there is baking bright luster extending well across the satiny surfaces on this high end About Uncirculated example. A touch of weakness may be noted at Liberty's head of course (full heads are elusive), but clearly the dies were spaced just close enough to impart strong metal flow in the main obverse and reverse devices. After-striking features include a short mark on Liberty's thigh and two or three little ticks on the edge of the eagle's wing -- nothing special or out of the ordinary. Bidders will want to focus on the attractive color and silvery luster of this rare overdate. Pop 18; 75 finer (PCGS # 5726) .
Estimated Value $11,000 - 12,000.
