Fine 15, maybe.

So Bob, you are stating then that it would be about the same wear level as an F15. Let me add in here the F15 Type2A from Photograde... tell me if you see the same level of wear for my '18/7-S as this coin:
I see much more detail in the 1918/7-S quarter than the PCGS Photograde F15.

That coin is VF30. I'm not sure about the surfaces so I'm not gonna say it'll straight grade. Is it really that color in hand?
Good catch... yes, it is DETAILS grade.

Thanks for posting this overdate. I have one in a similar condition and am glad to compare yours with mine. Many researchers have said that only one set of dies were used for this overdate . When comparing the two, I think at least two die sets were used. There are too many differences for only one set of dies being used. Look at the step by lady liberty's foot and the evident clashing above the wing on the reverse. My example has neither the step or the obvious clashing above the wing.
Die polishing would not account for all the differences.
There are other slight differences other places also. I'm convinced that more than one set of dies were used.
What do you think?
I'm a big fan of this overdate. I think yours has 35-40 details.

I saw the grade but was going to say a strong VF.
"“Those who sacrifice liberty for security/safety deserve neither.“(Benjamin Franklin)
"I only golf on days that end in 'Y'" (DE59)
I was at VF details cleaned.
VF details, cleaned by my standards. Not close to XF.
I grade it Run... It's like buying a lawn mower without a blade & engine.
This has been cleaned, over dipped, and now has dip residue turning eating into the reverse wing.
I agree with VF....That is a great photograph....Cheers, RickO
Comparing the subject coin with 1946Hamm's example I feel the subject coin has 40 details and Hamm's is more of a 45 detail piece. My frustration with details grades is that they will just say "XF Details", for example, and not "XF40 Details", "XF45 Details", etc.

Too bad for the cleaning. VF35 details in my opinion

I'm curious - from the picture how can you tell it's been cleaned?
Vf
XF40 cleaned.
The coin surfaces have an unnatural look. Look at enough coins and it's apparent immediately. Which is why I said VF but no idea about the surfaces, and asked about the color. Overall, this coin just looks "off".
Here is a second 1918/7-S SLQ found in the wild just like this one - take a look. This one is Full Head!:

Bob?
My first thought is a lower VF but may be cleaned based on the pics.
Early American Copper, Bust and Seated.
I was wrong, but it doesn't matter as it won't grade.
