1918 Quarter MS FH Values
Details
As Philadelphia minted Standing Liberty Quarters go, the 1918 is one of the most scarce in high grades, especially with a Full Head. Scarcity begins at MS65 and becomes truly rare in MS67 and finer. The only problem with this issue is how weak the strikes are making this date a Full Head Rarity in gem grades.
Obverse: MacNeil's Liberty stands with one hand holding an olive branch, the other bearing a shield. A ribbon connects the branch to the shield. The world LIBERTY appears across the top periphery and the date is centered at the bottom. 13 stars appear to the side of Liberty. Mint mark, if any, is positioned above the date to the left of Liberty.
Reverse: An eagle in full flight, facing right, with UNITED STATES OF AMERICA above the great raptor. Stars flank the left and right peripheries with the words QUARTER DOLLAR at the bottom.
