Originally Toned Gem 1853 No Arrows Quarter

1853/53 25C No Arrows MS65 PCGS. CAC. FS-301. The 53 in the date is repunched, as always for this low mintage issue. Only 44,200 pieces were struck under the old tenor standard, prior to the addition of arrows and rays to the design. Numerous examples were undoubtedly melted by silver speculators. Scarce in any condition; neither PCGS nor NGC reports more than five pieces in any single grade.
This is a meticulously struck Gem with lush forest-green, tan-gold, and plum-mauve toning. Both sides are remarkably undisturbed by contact, and luster rolls unencumbered across the open fields. A prize for the Seated connoisseur. Population: 3 in 65, 6 finer (6/08).(Registry values: P6)
