This date is exceedingly rare in grades of F12 and higher. There are many outstanding Buffalo collections that lack a quality 1918/7-D. A coin like this, that rarely is available, Specialists have estimated approx. 100,000 originally minted, with the variety not recognized until about 1930. The large majority were worn out, or at least down to the AG-G level.
