Scarce 1874-S Arrows Quarter, MS66

1874-S 25C Arrows MS66 PCGS. Examples of this issue are scarce in Mint State; most come from an old West Coast bank hoard of 80 to 100 pieces dispersed in 1949 (Larry Briggs, Liberty Seated Quarters, 1991, p. 186).
The present MS66 specimen is boldly struck. Only a couple of the right-side peripheral stars show a blunt strike in the centrils. Coruscating luster radiates from the silver-gray surfaces, accented on the obverse by blushes of light sunset-orange, and powder-blue on the reverse. A top-notch example of this scarce type coin. Population: 29 in 66, 1 finer (3/09).
From The Joseph C. Thomas Collection.(Registry values: P3)
