1853 Arrows and Rays Liberty Seated Quarter NGC Graded MS65. After much debate in Congress about the reduction of the intrinsic value of subsidiary coinage, the silver content was reduced and the newly coined quarters and half dollars had arrowheads placed on the obverse and a glory of rays on the reverse to indicate this weight reduction. This one-year type is necessary for any 19th century silver type set, and this nearly brilliant piece would be an excellent addition. There is a faint trace of golden peripheral toning interrupts the otherwise brilliant surfaces of this fully struck Gem. This coin would make a great addition to any collection. This is a one year type coin pcgs estimates 700 in all uncirculated grades, this is one of the best, only a few dozen graded 65 or above. NGC Certified.
