More correctly described as "Cameo", the devices are superbly frosty and free from abrasions or impairments. Only the faintest hairlines are found on heavily mirrored surfaces. After years of seven digit mintage figures at Philadelphia, the Civil War brought on a period of heavily reduced production of silver and gold coinage. In 1864, only 93,600 business strike quarter dollars and 470 proof quarter dollars were produced. A choice specimen that is definitely among the top survivors from this challenging numismatic time frame. NGC population of 5 in PF66, 1 in PF67 and 3 in PF68 as the finest.

Only one mark can be said to be out of place and this is a faint scuff mark on the obverse, off the 10th star, heading the opposite direction of the die polish lines. Historically significant as the first year of issue of With Motto coinage. A superb gem specimen and unquestionably one of the finest for this issue! NGC has graded 16 in MS-65 and only 3 one point better. Housed in an old NGC holder. Estimated Value $5,000 - 5,500. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 1127		1873 Liberty Seated Quarter Dollar. Arrows. NGC graded MS-65. Stormy gray surfaces with accents of iridescent toning. On the inside of Liberty's right forearm is a small planchet imperfection that might be mistaken for an abrasion. The overall appearance of the coin is frosty with regards to the texture of the surfaces and devices. All of the stars are weakly struck, none display central definition. The Mint Act of 1873 brought about many changes to U.S. coinage, the most relevant in the case of this issue is the placement of arrowheads at the dates of certain silver coinage (Dimes, Quarters, Half Dollars) in conjunction with the shift to the metric system within U.S. coinage. For two years (1873-1874), the Philadelphia, Carson City and San Francisco Mints produced the aforementioned denominations with arrows at the date. Then, abruptly, the arrows were removed in 1875 but the metric composition of the issues stayed the same. While much of the public at the time never associated these arrows with the metric system, this With Arrows type is very important to type collectors in today's numismatics circles. A choice gem and a significant type coin worthy of a high grade collection! Estimated Value $2,800 - 3,200. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $2,875

This design type, the With Arrows, was struck at three mints during 1873 and 1874. Those produced from the San Francisco had the second lowest mintage, only 156,00. Only 24 coins have been graded in all grades by PCGS and this is a legitimate rarity in any uncirculated condition. The specimen is original and choice for the grade.
