Is this what I think it is ??? Standing Quarter Overdate ???

longtimecollector

Last week, we picked apart GoldenEyeNumismatics so-called "cherrypick" of an 1844-O Seated Half variety by using the auction images and our (PCGS Boardmembers) knowledge.

Today, I present another auction image in the hope that this actually IS the 8/7 overdate...... What say ye ??????





Breen mentions a die defect near the toes...... Any SLQ experts out there today ?????

Hopefully you can get a better picture in hand, with a close up of the date, but given the photos, I say that it is not an overdate. Hard to tell.

I'm afraid it's a case of wishful thinking.

I don't see anything there either unless it's an 18 over 18.

lasvegasteddy

it's my understanding that the step doesn't show under the raised foot on that overdate

NO it is not an overdate. The diagnostics are not there.

Okay, I'm in the minority, but I think it's an overdate. There's a die marker that certainly looks present in this coin:



Check out this same marker on this heritage coin:

Could be a major - MAJOR - score if it is.

Good luck.

This evidence is pretty convincing, at least for me

I don't see a similarity between the Heritage and other coin. The 8/7 is quite different. On a worn specimen shouldn't the center of the loops in the 8's not be in a vertical line?

I don't think so.
It's hard to tell from that photo, but while it looks like there's something akin to the required "E" clash by her right knee, I can clearly see the step under her left foot, which should be missing (and usually her toes are missing also) on a genuine 1918/7-S. Another distinguishing trait to look for is a die break from the rim above the T in Liberty that goes down to, and ends at the bottom of the T.

Check out the '18-S in Heritages Platinum sale @CSNS, lot #2106, there's a nice write up of the diagnostics and how this coin has them but is not the OD. BTW, nice '27-D FH in that sale... (thanks Heritage...)

I can't tell from the photo. The overdated die does come with a nice set of clash marks, but there is another 1918-S die with a nice set of clash marks as well.

The die defect to look for is a small, raised pimple in the sheltered area to the right of the right foot as you are looking at the coin, which is of course her left foot.
