i just bought this off ebay last night and the mintmark looks like a D but for the price it doesn't matter need both of them anyway. I was thinking the grade was XF but wanted yalls opinion   |

Definitely not an 'S'. Looks like a 'D'. The D carries a slightly higher premium than the S. Good pick-up  |

It almost looks like an "O", but I dont recall New Orleans making SLQs.
But a "D" is a great find, 7,380,000 minted by the Denver Mint in 1918.
Numismedia lists XF40 on 1918-D SLQ for $104.

by pvc do you mean the black spot in the D in dollar on the reverse, cause I usually just leave that cause I dont want to damage the coin

No, it appears that there is some green residue on the coin. It could also just be reflection from the area where the coin was photographed.

Was it shot under a fluorescent ring light? I've noted that green-to-red color fade before from them.

Very nice looking SLQ.....a set I plan to attack after finishing up a couple others. Currently only have 27S and 25, both passed down from a relative.

i dont know what it was shot under, those are the sellers pics, I should have it in hand tomorrow, it is a really fun set, I'm thinking about selling most of my Seated quarter collection so I can complete the set in all EF-MS in PCGS holder but maybe I'm just dreaming lol |

yes, I won lol. I was thinking EF-45 because the eagle doesn't have full details, but with the details on the obverse(shield) could this coin grade AU? also look at the die crack on the date. what do yall think on grade and price, so I can see if I made a good deal   |
