Sorry for the poor pictures, but I'm 89% sure this is a well, well, well-circulated 1918/7-S Standing Liberty quarter. If you folks could weigh in, I'd appreciate your input! Thank you!    *** Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. *** |

I see what looks like a "2" to the left, so that would mean 1928-S.

Unless there are special markers which I'm not familiar with ,I can't see anything that resembles a 1918/7-S .  |

It looks like a recessed date SLQ from 1925 to 1930. In that grade you wouldn't see any part of the date whatsoever from a coin minted from 1916-1924. I don't see the S mint mark on it so it could be any date. So in my opinion this isn't an 18/17-S unfortunately.

It's a very worn 28S. It takes a lot of wear on the 25-30 years to have the date worn away that much.

Agree with 28, but don't see an S.

IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

First of all, if it was a 1918 you wouldn't be able to see any digits of the date in the condition because the date design was different and more exposed before 1925. Second, 1918/7-S examples all have die clash marks on the obverse (or at least every picture of one I've seen has it). This is visible even on low grade coins and appears as an "E" to the left of the left leg (viewer's perspective):  So no, it's not a 1918/7-S. Keep looking. |

Agree 1928 but can't really see the S either.
