 1918/7'S' About Uncirculated. Substantial overall lustre complements a well detailed strike that includes a particularly vivid overdate. An obverse edge nick at 10:00 has been skillfully filed to minimize its visibility. This wartime re-use of a previous year's die went undiscovered until 1937, by which time Mint State examples were excessively rare. The late Walter Breen estimated that perhaps six Mint State survivors were known. An About Uncirculated example such as this is the highest grade today's collectors may reasonably expect to find.
