Sumptuous MS66 1853 No Arrows Quarter

1853 25C No Arrows MS66 NGC. Though passage of legislation to alter the weight of the minor silver denominations took place early in 1853, Philadelphia coined 44,200 quarters before the changes went into effect. These pieces, compared to their later counterparts, are on slightly heavier planchets and show neither arrows at the date nor rays around the eagle.
Soft, swirling luster shimmers beneath rich rose, green-gold, and azure patina. The strike is surprisingly bold, and the surfaces are virtually pristine. One of the most spectacular survivors from this challenging issue, one that could be a cornerstone of the finest collection of Seated quarters. Census: 4 in 66, 4 finer (2/08).(Registry values: P6)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 23TA, PCGS# 5421, Greysheet# 5123)

Weight: 6.68 grams
