Hello all, need some help with this 1918-s... I think this is a 1918/7-S and I would like to have your opinion on this. It seems that the die clash that looks like an E in the protected recess next to Liberty's right knee could be there and maybe also the small pimple of extra metal above and to the right of last digit of the date. What do you think?  |

Certainly looks like a 1918/7 S quarter! Can you add a picture of the reverse? And may I ask how you aquired this coin?

Thanks for reply Yes just bought this coin online from a french numismatic dealer and waiting to receive it... wish everything goes the right way... Here is the reverse  Do you think this should grade straight or just detail? |

I don't think the faint obverse scratch will detail this otherwise splendid-looking example.
Did you purchase it as the overdate?

I wish it could grade straight... Variety wasn't attributed  was very lucky with this one |

Wow, what a cherrypick!! This very exciting, congrats! I am putting my bet on a straight XF-45. Probably could get $7,500+ in an auction setting.

Looks like the real deal to me and appears to be in high XF to low AU condition. Should straight grade. ***Might*** be a candidate for professional conservation depending on what it looks like in-hand.
Hopefully, the dealer isn't a member of this forum, has already shipped the coin and doesn't try to recall the package if he has.
Wonderful score! Congrats!

That's a seriously big cherry-pick, congratulations! I don't ever see examples in grades this high that aren't attributed already. I would love to see some results from a TPG if you decided to send it that way. -CH27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage

Thanks all for comments.
Coin is already shipped and I think I will have coin in hand in about 10/15 days
I will certainly try to grade the coin through PCGS and will update you.

Looks like the real deal to me; I'm in the market for one myself, but not nearly in this high of a grade . I'll be looking forward to hearing more once you have the coin in-hand. I would expect it would straight-grade, but even if it didn't that's still an amazing cherrypick! Member of SPMC, FCCB, ANA and ANS.
