Seated Quarters
1873 25C Open 3, No Arrows, MS65 PCGS. CAC. Briggs 1-A. The Open 3 logotype was introduced early in 1873, because Chief Coiner A. Louden Snowden thought the Closed 3 in the date looked too much like an 8. Another design change was instituted slightly later, when Congress changed the weight of the subsidiary silver coins and Arrows were placed at the date to signify the new specifications. Between those events, the Philadelphia Mint struck 172,000 Seated Liberty quarters, with the Open 3 in the date and No Arrows. This sharply detailed Gem displays well-preserved, lustrous surfaces, under attractive shades of cerulean-blue and champagne-gold toning. Housed in a green label holder. Population: 6 in 65, 4 finer (2/17).
