Lot 495
1854 Liberty Seated Quarter Dollar. Arrows. PCGS graded MS-64. Nice even toning on both sides. Frosted mint luster characterizes the surfaces on this lovely toned piece. Excellent detail with perhaps minor weakness to the stars and some rim dentils. The mint was busy in 1853 and 1854 recoining the "old tenor" coins that had been withdrawn from circulation and melted pursuant to the Coinage Act of 1853. Twenty years after this another Coinage Act (that of 1873) would cause a similar issue of With Arrows pieces. Pop 64; 21 finer; 10 in 65; 6 in 66; 5 in 67. (PCGS # 5432) .
Estimated Value $2,200 - 2,300.
