1853 Liberty Seated Quarter Dollar. Arrows and rays. PCGS graded MS-64. Lightly toned. Although essentially brilliant, the smooth, satiny surfaces show a veiled trace of natural silvery gray color cast at certain angles. The strike is strong for this traditionally well-made issue, with clear definition to the high points such as all stars, the hair and shield while on the reverse the design wears its features proudly -- in the rays, feathers, and the shield. Some of the rim dentils on this side could be a little crisper, but this is beside the point given the overall high condition of the coin. A desirable one-year Type. Should you be a collector looking for something singularly attractive and noteworthy to purchase in the sale, might we direct your attention to this, 1853 Arrows and Rays Seated Liberty quarter? Pop 136; 24 finer; 16 in 65; 6 in 66; 2 in 67. (PCGS # 5426) .
Estimated Value $4,500 - 4,700.
