Description
Remarkable Gem 1853 Arrows and Rays Quarter
1853 25C Arrows and Rays MS65 PCGS. Both sides of this well preserved example display remarkable boldness, with good detailing on the star centrils, Liberty's head, the reverse rays and the eagle's feathers, indeed, throughout the coin. Despite a moderate layer of gorgeous golden-violet and forest-green toning, considerable luster percolates to the surface. Even from an enormous mintage for the era in excess of 15 million pieces, this example of one of only 16 Gem pieces at PCGS, and there are only eight coins certified finer at that service (6/08). Even so, it is difficult to imagine a representative with better aesthetic appeal. (Registry values: P5)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 23U4, PCGS# 5426, GSID# 5124)
