Seated Quarters
1853 25C Arrows and Rays MS66 PCGS. CAC. The 1853 Arrows and Rays quarter boasts a mintage in excess of 15 million pieces, and therefore is unsurprisingly one of the most plentiful issues in Mint State condition. Pieces grading as high as this Premium Gem, however, are rarely encountered. Remarkably clean, frosty surfaces illuminate lightly mottled amber and olive-gold toning over each side. The reverse border is slightly soft from 8 to 12 o'clock, though the design elements are otherwise well-defined. A pair of minor rim cuds appear at 9 and 11 o'clock on the reverse, and a die crack occurs on the obverse from the rim below the 3 in the date, through the right arrow, to Liberty's foot. An exceptional example of this "common" date in an uncommon grade. Population: 9 in 66, 2 finer. CAC: 2 in 66, 0 finer (10/17).
