Design and Specifications of the 1918 Quarter
The 1918 Standing Liberty Quarter was part of the coin series that began in 1916, replacing the Barber Quarter. This year saw the continuation of the Type 2 design, which had been introduced in 1917 to address concerns about the original design's wear issues. The obverse featured Liberty holding a shield and olive branch, while the reverse depicted an eagle in flight.
The year 1918 was significant as it marked the final year of World War I, which had a substantial impact on coin production and circulation during this period.

Rarity Factors and Value Drivers
Condition plays a crucial role in the value of 1918 Standing Liberty Quarters. Due to the coin's design, the date and Liberty's head were prone to wear, making well-preserved examples particularly desirable. Coins in Mint State condition, especially MS65 and above, are scarce and command significant premiums.
The quality of the strike is also important, as many 1918 quarters were weakly struck, particularly on Liberty's head and the eagle's breast feathers. Strong, full strikes are highly prized by collectors.

Luster and toning can significantly affect the value of 1918 quarters. Coins with original mint luster are highly desirable, while attractive, natural toning can also increase value.
The Full Head designation is an important factor for Standing Liberty Quarters. Coins with complete detail on Liberty's head are scarcer and more valuable, especially for the 1918-D and 1918-S issues.
While not as rare as some other years in the series, high-grade 1918 quarters are becoming increasingly scarce as more collectors seek top-quality examples for their collections, potentially driving up future values.
