Sharply Contrasted
1853/4 Arrows and Rays Quarter, MS64
Tied for Finest Certified

1853/4 25C Arrows and Rays MS64 PCGS. Briggs 1-A. This enigmatic overdate shows a mistaken final-digit punch from the next year rather than the previous year. This die state shows the upper portion of the 4 within the top of the 3, and it also plainly displays the repunching above the right arrow shaft. Only 20 pieces have been certified in mint condition by both of the major grading services. At the MS64 level, this coin is tied with two others as finest certified (8/08). This is a lovely coin that has the usual strong mint luster one would expect on an 1853 quarter. This lustrous finish serves to backlight the gray-olive surfaces that have a strong contrast of charcoal-gray over the devices. Sharply struck and seemingly defect-free.
