Lot 1355
1918-D. NGC graded MS-64. Usual soft strike on Liberty's head with remarkably clear surfaces; all, lightly toned. The year 1918 introduced a design modification to the collar on Liberty’s dress. It was redesigned and broadened. Also, ray 8 from the sun is now centered between rays 7 & 9. Before it had been out of alignment and closer to ray 7. There is an incuse border at the top edge of the ground line from date to sun and the motto was changed to taller, thinner, more widely spaced letters. Each of these design modifications was an attempt to improve the appearance and striking quality of the coin. Pop 203; 13 in 65, 2 in 66.
