1918 Quarter MS Values
Details
As Philadelphia minted Standing Liberty Quarters go, the 1918 is one of the most scarce in high grades. Scarcity begins at the gem level and becomes truly rare in MS67 and finer. The only problem with this issue being how weak the strikes are. However, they do come with quality luster and, in some cases, beautiful toning.
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.
