David Hall

The 1918/7-S Standing Liberty quarter is one of the key date silver coin rarities of the 20th century. This variety was first noticed in the late 1930's and the first auction appearance was in December, 1937. Collectors began saving the few they could find in circulation. Today, the 1918/7-S is rare and relatively expensive even in the lowest grades. Mint state specimens are very rare and specimens with fully struck heads are extremely rare. Probably less than 100 mint state survivors exist and there are probably less than 10 gem MS65 or better specimens. There are only a handful of full head specimens and, as far as I know, there are no Gem MS65 full head specimens.
