This gorgeous Full Head Gem exhibits glistening champagne iridescence that blankets the lustrous and pristine surfaces on both sides. Despite scattered die cracks and other evidence of a later die state, the devices are pleasantly sharp in nearly all regions. The 1918-D Standing Liberty quarter is a particularly difficult issue for collectors because it faces limitations in both preservation and striking quality. Mint State populations are moderate up through Choice, though true Gems are considerably scarce. When a full strike becomes requisite, the rarity of qualified examples increases exponentially. The present example represents the finest level of preservation seen at NGC for the issue, sharing the MS-66 FH grade with just six other coins. For the collectors seeking the pinnacle of an issue, this piece should not be overlooked. ，PCGS# 5723. NGC ID: 2438.，NGC Census: 7; none finer. ，
