1853/4 25C Arrows and Rays MS65 NGC. Briggs 1-A. FS-1301. An intriguing variety, recognized by NGC, PCGS, and the Guide Book. Briggs details the recutting of the date in his Encyclopedia. The 8 and 5 are recut right, and the 3 is punched over the remnants of what appears to be an errant 4. The right arrowhead is recut south, confirming the attribution. This variety is rarely seen in Mint State, and the present coin is the sole finest at NGC (6/17). However, this coin will appeal to more than variety enthusiasts. This one-year Arrows and Rays type is always in high demand, and Gem examples of the Philadelphia issue are rare overall.
This outstanding piece is boldly defined and exhibits well-preserved, frosty luster. Traces of light golden toning are most noticeable on the reverse, attesting to the originality of the surfaces. An outstanding type coin and an unsurpassed Briggs 1-A representative.
