Pricing Comments:Liberty Seated quarters are probably the most under valued seated coinage denomination. The full date and mintmark set is extremely difficult to complete due to length and individual date rarities. Weak strikes are also an ongoing issue for many dates including weak head and breast details and incomplete definition of reverse feathers. You will find competitive retail asking prices for nice original and problem free coins. Quarters with small issues will be discounted accordingly.

Rotated Reverses:Reverse images are best effort to capture the actual reverse rotation with respect to obverse position. If a rotated reverse is seen in the images, then this is how the quarter appeared during photography and the descriptions may not include specific comments as to the observation.

Under a bright light, reflective fields shift the obverse aquamarine-blue into light sky blues and a pretty gold peripheral ring is exposed on the reverse. A Seated quarter graded EF40 should not have this much reflective luster but this near gem does. Strike is typical for the No Drapery design hubs. I have to call this one conservatively graded. Housed in 2015 style PCGS holder with CAC approval. Another beautifully toned Liberty Seated quarter offering from the Kansas Collection.
	1839 No Drapery	AU50	raw	Briggs 1-A	Market Acceptable	$525	Cracked Reverse, Fully Struck, Uniform Gray Patina, Open Claws.. A sharply struck example in later die state with full bisecting reverse die crack and obverse die crack from Stars 1 and 2 down through left rock and into rim by 1 digit. Rims are particular sharp. Surfaces are covered with uniform ebony patina especially on the obverse and across most of the reverse. The lighter reverse region by UNITED on the image is not as pronounced on the actual coin. As for blemishes, the only issue to note is that the sharp rims attracted a few tiny marks. Fresh from old collection and off the market for years. Not a strictly original example but market acceptable and priced accordingly.
	1840 Drapery	MS62	PCGS 21514867	Briggs 1-A	Original	$1950	New January 29! Drapery Design, Near Choice Original, Reflective Cartwheel Luster, Light Mottled Gold Patina, Typical Strike, Accurately Graded, Sunset Point Collection. 1840 brought the No Drapery to Drapery design with all Philadelphia strikes being from with Drapery dies. Mintage of 188,127 and challenging in low grades. Reflective luster produces active cartwheels under a light source. Light mottled gold is seen on both sides. Accurately graded and housed in old blue label PCGS holder with standard ring insert that dates back to the late 1990s. The lower reverse foggy appearance on GFRC images is old holder plastic haze.

	1840 With Drapery	EF40	PCGS 81743767	Briggs 1-A	Original	HOLD $395	Underrated Date, Original Light Gray Patina, Residual Steely Luster, Accurately Graded. 1840 brought a design hub transitional year for smaller Liberty Seated coinage denominations up through the quarters. The mintage for the 1840 With Drapery date is a reasonable 188,127 but, as in the case for Liberty Seated dimes, availablility is much lower than the mintage would suggest. 1840 Drapery quarters are very challenging to locate and especially in higher grade. 1840 Drapery Philadelphia strikes are even more difficult than the New Orleans counterpart at a much lower mintage of 43,000. Why there are so few surviving examples is a mystery to me. This new offering has classic gun metal gray fields and residual steely luster under the patina. Steely and lightly mirrored fields on 1840 Drapery quarters are the appropriate surface condition. GFRC photography will enhance green coloring on certain silver coins. The green shades on the reverse are natual toning and much lighter in color when viewing in hand or under a bright light. Strike is well executed on the obverse but weak on the right facing wing and lower left eagle leg. Accurately graded and housed in new 2015 style PCGS holder and fairly priced for the rarity. Yet another quality coin from a recent West Coast collection purchase.
	1840-O No Drapery	VF35	PCGS 33548986	Briggs 2-B	Choice	$395	Choice Original, Late Die State, Heavy Clashing, Light Gray Rim Toning, White Pine Collection. The mintmark right reverse die pairing. A choice late die state example with bold obverse die clashing. Reverse eagle wings are boldly transferred to the obverse die. Die erosion is severe with all traces of rim denticles effaced. Surfaces are toned a light gray with some golden hues at immediate rims. There are no blemishes to discuss. I see this No Drapery quarter heading into a die variety set collection rather than being used in a type set. The late die state characteristics would be fascinating to those who appreciate. Housed in 2015 style PCGS holder with CAC approval. Another fine numismatic property from the White Pine Collection.
	1840-O No Drapery	VF35	PCGS 35764229	Briggs 2-B	Choice	$485	New February 12!

With Drapery obverse die hub with a tiny mintage of 43,000. This date is so underated, especially choice, based on the number of survivors within the TPG population reports. Total number certified by PCGS in all VF grades is 36 with CAC approval in VF being 11 for PCGS and NGC holder pieces. From the CAC population report, it is easily seen that choice survivors are clustered in the VF and AU grades with only one mint state example approved. This GFRC offering is perfectly original with choice surfaces. A thick crusty gray patina covers both sides. Accurately graded and housed in 2013 transitional PCGS holder with blue label and edge view insert. CAC approval rewards the strict originality and blemish free surfaces.

Bold double die obverse diagnostics are seen in the left field stars and on the heavily doubled shield. Luster has a thick creamy texture with mild cartwheels. Surfaces are free of any significant abrasions. The assigned MS61 grade is technically accurate and limited by luster; a common issue for many Briggs 2-C examples. Housed in old NGC holder with standard ring insert. The NGC label reads DDO, FS-001. Part of a complete set of Liberty Seated quarters offered by the Sunset Point Collection.

Obverse die doubling is bold under a 10x loupe with the shield and stars 1 and 2 being most distinct. Undergraded and housed in 2015 holder with edge view insert.

Obverse strike is well excuted whule the reverse strike is weak. A challenging Briggs die pairing. Housed in 2015 style PCGS holder. A quality Liberty Seated quarter offering from the Saw Mill Run Collection.

Part of a complete set of Liberty Seated quarters offered by the Sunset Point Collection. I like this piece at the assigned grade and believe you will also once seen in hand.

Near Choice Original, White Frosty Luster, Active Cartwheels, Complete Strike, Fairly Graded, Sunset Point Collection. 1844 New Orleans strikes have a mintage of 740,000 but a low survival rate due to heavy circulation in the deep United Sates south. In mint state, this date is very scarce. PCGS has only graded three pieces at MS 62 and another six at MS63. Options for collectors at the lower mint state grades is limited. This original example, from the Sunset Point Collection, warrants consideration by collectors seeking a nice mint state example with old time eye appeal. Mint frost surround the legends, stars and devices. As a result, the cartwheel luster has an obvious frosty texture. Surfaces are untoned suggesting this piece saw a quick dip before being submitted to PCGS. Strike is complete with full stars and deeply impressed facial details and hair curls. Same for the reverse with bold feathers, claws and arrow feathers. There are a few field abrasions consistent with the grade but none needing mention. Overall a well balance Type 1 Seated quarter that is fairly graded. Housed in old blue label PCGS holder with standard ring insert. Please give this 1844-O special consideration as the eye appeal is pleasing.

	1846	MS63	NGC 589799017	Briggs 2-D	Choice	$1450	New January 29! Repunched Date, Choice Original, Creamy Faint Gold Luster, Hammered Strike, Accurately Graded, Sunset Point Collection. 1846 Philadelphia strikes amounted to 510,000 pieces with reasonable survival rates in circulated grades. In mint state, this date become very scarce. Creamy faint gold luster and a hammered strike at the two highlights of the Sunset Point Collection example. I use the term "creamy" as the luster has a silky satiny finish rather than being brilliant frosty. Strike is absolutely hammered and could not be more deeply impressed on both sdies. Surfaces blemishes are limited to a few field micro ticks of no consequence. This offering is also the Briggs 2-D Repunched date variety with repunching inside the 6 digit and heavy obverse die cracks. Accurately graded and housed in old NGC holder with standard ring insert that dates back to the late 1990s. I like this offering and believe GFRC customers will also be pleased during in hand inspection.
	1846	MS62	PCGS 36361112		Choice	$1600	New March 5! Gorgeous Eye Appeal, Frosty Cartwheel Luster, Rose-Blue Toning, Complete Strike, Conservatively Graded. Where did this gorgeous 1846 Seated quarter come from? Surfaces are frosty original with swirling cartwheel luster under a light source. Strike is hammered on both sides and adds to the overall eye appeal. Toning brings more charm with rose-gold and sky blue on both sides. A long reverse die crack extends from AMERIC(A) to the right wing and reaches the upper rim through (OF). I believe that anyone who sees this piece in hand will agree that the eye appeal and luster are consistent with a MS63 grade level rather than the assigned MS62. Abrasions are to a minimum and not a factor in the current grade. Housed in 2015 style PCGS holder. A special GFRC offering worthy of consideration.
	1846	AU55	NGC 1749017003	Briggs 2-D	Original	$475	Repunched Date, Original Surfaces, Frosty Luster, Faint Gold Toning, Hammered Strike, Accurately Graded, Sunset Point Collection.

The reverse is similar with less golden hues. There are a few stray hairlines in the fields with none being distracting.

Incredible Obverse Hammered Strike, Choice Original Surfaces, Steely Luster, Mottled Rose-Blue Patina, Accurately Graded, Sunset Point Collection. Mintage of 734,000 and a heavily melted issue for its silver bullion content. Mint state survivors are relatively scarce in today's market. This example has a monster obverse strike with sharpness of a proof. However, the reverse strike is weak with the eagle's left shield border, left facing)leg, and arrow fletchings being soft. Rich forest-green, gold, and rose toning on found on each side and is stronger near the peripheries. A few tiny field marks and hairlines limit the grade. Die pairing is unlisted by Briggs and later classified as Johnson 103 in a E-Gobrecht article. Housed in old NGC holder with standard ring insert. Part of a complete set of Liberty Seated quarters offered by the Sunset Point Collection.
	1847-O	VF30	PCGS 16659861	Briggs 1-A	Choice	$800	Early Die State, Choice Original, Rich Gray-Olive Patina, Typical Strike, Accurately Graded. Locating choice 1847 New Orleans Seated quarters will take some patience as collectors are faced with weak obverse strikes and problematic surfaces. Though this date has a mintage of 368,000, few examples are known in mint state. In circulated grades, this date is available but many are not what I would consider as choice. CAC has only approved 19 examples in all grades. This new GFRC example offers a richly toned obverse with gun metal gray patina and golden gray on the reverse. Surfaces are vewry well preserved and free of any major distraction. Strike is typical with flat head and breasts along with weak definition of the eagle's lower left leg and claws. Housed in old blue label PCGS holder with standard ring insert. CAC approval for the no question originality and accurate grading. An important offering from those attempting a Liberty Seated date and mintmark set.
	1847-O	AU53	PCGS 03710586	Briggs 1-A	Original	$3450	New January 29! Very Scarce New Orleans Date, Original Surfaces, Steely Luster, Light Peripheral Gold Toning, Typical Strike, Accurately Graded, Sunset Point Collection. Regardless of a mintage of 368,000, 1847 New Orleans strikes become rare in AU or better. Heavy melting for silver bullion content is a plausible explanation. This date is also known for chronic weak obverse strike as I have yet to see a fully struck specimen. The Sunset Point Collection example is worthy of very special consideration given the AU53 grade level and original surfaces. Steely luster is immediately evident during bright light inspection along with peripheral gold toning. Luster is somewhee between reflective and steely with fields that are textured and not mirrored. Strike is so typical for the date with partial head details and stars 7 through 10 lacking centrils along with some reverse weakness at the eagle's left facing leg and claws. PCGS population indicates seventeen in all AU grade and only six mint state examples. At the AU53 grade level, there are four certified. A fairly priced offering that is frankly an excellent value in today's market. If just ten collectors jump into Liberty Seated quarter collecting, there is insufficient supply to support the demand with prices needing to climbg. Housed in old blue label PCGS holder with standard ring insert. Worthy of immediate consideration.

Double Date, Compass Point Reverse, Original, Creamy Faint Gold Luster, Hammered Strike, Accurately Graded, Sunset Point Collection. A lovely example of the 1848 Briggs 1-A die variety with a date punch that is sharply repunched east, with remnants of the original punch to the left of the lower date digits. The reverse features the "compass point" centering dot that is a misnomer as it is at the same level as the fields, meaning it was raised above the surrounding shield detail on the die. This important example features delicate gold toning on its creamy silver surfaces with inconsequential grade-limiting marks. Housed in old NGC holder with standard ring insert that dates back to the late 1990s. Part of a complete set of Liberty Seated quarters offered by the Sunset Point Collection.

Obverse strike is sharp while the reverse exhibits weakness at the eagle's leg and arrow feathers. There are no blemishes whatsoever to discuss. A wholesome early date example with just light wear that will please the selective collector. A quality duplicate from the Sunset Point Collection of Liberty Seated quarters.

In addition, the obverse has vertical die polish lines and validates the early die state polished dies employed to strike this piece. Fairly graded and housed in ANACS old white holder. Part of a complete set of Liberty Seated quarters offered by the Sunset Point Collection and a most pleasing example.
	1849-O	EF40	PCGS 80674727		Original	$6500	New January 28! Key Seated Quarter New Orleans Date, Original Surfaces, Olive-Gray Patina, Accurately Graded, Saw Mill Run Collection. The mintage for 1849-O New Orleans strikes is unrecorded with Briggs estimating a mintage of 16,000 pieces. Few example ever reach the marketplace since surviving population is so low. Nearly all examples are held in collections and only a divestment event brings about a fresh offering. This example is fresh to GFRC inventory and is a near choice original offering. Olive-gray patina covers both sides during in hand viewing. Adding a light source reveals steely fields and residual luster. Toning shifts to rose in the fields and the base light olive-gray maintained on the devices. Strike is typical for the 1849-O date. The left field stars are fully struck while those in the right field lack connected centrils. Strike weakness is also present on the top of Liberty's head and the gown line. This weakness must be considered when grading. The reverse is well struck with complete eagle feathers in both wings and also full claw details. Wear is seen on the lower right facing wing and consistent with an EF40/EF45 grade level. A full Choice quality rating would have been assigned except for a rim mark by star 5. That mark is ancient and toned consistent with the rest of the coin. Accurately graded from a net perspective with device details being closed to EF45. Housed in 2015 style PCGS holder. An important offering from the Saw Mill Run Collection that warrants detailed inspection and consideration. Once this offering goes off the market, there are few available EF40 graded pieces to replace it.

Key New Orleans Date, Steely Residual Luster, Light Gun Metal Gray-Blue Patina, Near Choice Original Surfaces, Accurately Graded, Sunset Point Collection.

This offering is part of a complete set of Liberty Seated quarters from the Sunset Point Collection. A strictly original with ample residual luster on both sides. Surfaces are toned with a light gun metal gray-blue patina with GFRC images amplifying the blues. Obverse strike is partial and slightly better than that seen on the earlier 1847-O date.

PCGS has graded eight at the EF40 level with few known at a higher level. Accurately graded and housed in old blue label PCGS holder with standard ring insert.

Misplaced 1 on Rim, Bullseye Rainbow Toning, Choice Original Surfaces, Reflective Cartwheel Luster, Well Struck, Accurately Graded, Sunset Point Collection.

	1850-O	EF45	PCGS 13363335	Briggs 2-C	Choice	$1100	Choice Original, Lightly Mirrored Fields, Typical Flat Obverse Strike, Conservative Grading, Saw Mill Run Collection. 1850 New Orleans Seated quarters are notorious for being poorly struck. Actually, I can't remember ever handling a problem free fully struck example since establishing GFRC back in 2013. This date is always a challenge to find choice with TPG grading being erratic due to strike issues. Offered here is one of the better examples seen and the only EF45 example approved by CAC. Surfaces are no question original with lightly mirrored fields throughout obvere and reverse. Liberty's gown and shield exhibit substantial die rust with similiar appearance on the reverse eagle feathers. Strike is typical with partial head details and all stars lacking centrils. The GFRC images accurately capture in hand appearance but not the glowing golden rose fields seen under a light source. Housed in older blue label PCGS holder with standard ring insert. An important numismatic property from the Saw Mill Run Collection that deserves special attention by astute Liberty Seated quarter collectors. One will be hard pressed to locate a nicer circulated example.
	1850-O	MS63	PCGS 21713995	Briggs 1-A	Choice	$4500	New January 29! Challenging In Mint State, Mirrored Fields, Reflective Cartwheel Luster, Heavily Rusted Obverse, Completely Struck, Choice Surfaces, Accurately Graded, Sunset Point Collection. The 1850-O is a surprisingly scarce issue in Mint State despite a respectable (by early O-mint standards) mintage of 412,000 pieces. Most of these coins were either heavily circulated or melted. Typically struck for the issue, the stars are a little soft on the obverse and heavy die rust shows over the obverse devices. Both sides display a thin coating of silver-gray patina, otherwise the fields are lightly mirrored. Pre-1853 Seated quarters from New Orleans are scarcer than their Philadelphia counterparts, and the 1850-O is especially rare in Mint State. This golden-toned MS63 example is among the finest-known. A quick check of auction records, for this date, revealed that most mint state survivors will have similar golden toning bands. PCGS population report indicates seven at the MS63 level with only one finer. Luster is reflective and the strike is sharp. Liberty's figure shows moderate die rust consistent for the Briggs 1-A die pairing. Accurately graded and housed in old blue label PCGS holder with standard ring insert that dates back to the late 1990s. Part of a complete set of Liberty Seated quarters offered by the Sunset Point Collection.
	1850-O	VG08	raw	Briggs 1-B	Original	$140	Crusty Original, Gun Metal Gray/Blue, Honest Wear. Crusty original patina covers this piece with contrasting darker fields and lighter devices. In hand, the toning is more of an even gray but under bright light blue hues are obvious to the eye. There is just honest wear with no blemishes to note. My images are a tad too dark and the white haze on and above Liberty left shoulder is haze on the PCGS holder. Housed in 2015 PCGS holder with thicker edges.
	1851	MS64	PCGS 6560890	Briggs 1-A	Choice	$4000	New February 20! Near Gem Original, Sunset Point Collection. 1851 Philadelphia strikes are a semi-scarce issue with small mintage of only 160,000 coins. The surviving population is similar to that of the 1851-O, which is generally considered to be more rare. Many of the 1851 Philadelphia and New Orleans strikes were probably exported to Europe for melting. On this Briggs 1-A survivor, many vertical lines extend upward into the horizontal lines on the reverse shield. Strike is complete and sharp. Under alight source, brilliant reflective luster tickles the eyes. A light, mint-caused grease mark crosses Liberty's outstretched shin. Attractive nonetheless, with flashy surfaces and mint-fresh appeal. Accurately graded and housed in old blue label PCGS holder with standard ring insert that dates back to the late 1990s. Part of a complete set of Liberty Seated quarters offered by the Sunset Point Collection.
	1851	EF45	raw	Briggs 1-A	Original	$875	Underrated Date, Original Light Gray, Residual Luster, Fully Struck, Sunset Point Collection. A date that is much scarcer than its mintage would imply.

Residual luster is immediately evident during bright light viewing. An important offering from the Sunset Point Collection of Liberty Seated Quarter duplicates.

A better date in the Liberty Seated quarter series with small mintage of 88,000. Most surviving examples are found with weak strikes and surface issues. This 1851 New Orleans specimen offers choice surfaces with natural medium gray patina and no blemishes whatsoever. Strike is rather strong for the issue with the right facing wing having some weakness but the claws and arrow feather nicely defined. CAC has only approved 19 pieces in all grades (including mint state) while in VF30, two have been approved. If looking for a premium quality example of the 1851-O date, then this is your coin. Formerly from the Outback and Highwood Collections.
	1851-O	F15	PCGS 11862658	Briggs 1-A	Choice	$1450	Scarce New Orleans Issue, Choice Original, Uniform Gray Patina, Well Preserved Blemish Free Surfaces, Accurately Graded. Mintage of only 88,000 and an R4+ rarity at Fine grade level according to Briggs. Surfaces are 100% original and covered with gray patina that is uniform on both sides. This piece offers a mild circulated cameo appearance that is pleasing. For the 1851 New Orleans date, CAC has only approved 20 examples in all graded with two (2) at the F15 grade level.

	1851-O	VG10	PCGS 28553692		Choice	$760	New February 7! Scarce New Orleans Issue, Choice Original, Attractive Gray/Rose Patina, Accurately Graded, Blemish Free, Port Matilda Collection. Mintage of only 88,000 strikes with low survival rate. A difficult New Orleans date that is know for less than stellar strikes. The challenge with collecting circulated Liberty Seated quarters is locating choice examples especially when the denomination saw heavy circulation in the deep South. Ths specimen has to be one of the finest available at the VG grade level. Surfaces are perfectly original with just honest wear and a thick layer of gray/rose patina. There are no blemishes whatsoever. Grading is accurate with strong five and half letters in LIBERTY showing along with bold rims on both obverse and reverse. Housed in 2013 generation PCGS holder. CAC approval is warranted for the originality and superior eye appeal. A quality offering from the Port Matilda Collection.
	1852/52	F12	PCGS 29100404	Briggs 1-A	Choice	$585	1852/52, Scarce Date, Choice Original, Light Gray Patina, Accurately Graded, Mt. View Liberty Seated Quarter Collection. The 1852 Seated quarter is a scarce coin in any grade. This date is more available in high grades such as AU and Mint State, and less available in circulated condition. This is probably due to the issue having little time to circulate prior to the weight change of 1853. The 1852 date also features a rare and interesting die variety, the 1852/52 repunched date listed by Briggs as 1-A and also included in the Top 25 Varieties set by Greg Johnson. 1852/852 examples are quite scrace with obvious repunching on the 852 digits. The date position is also unique so that attribution is clear even for lower graded coins. This obverse was also used to strike two known proofs. The offered example is well preserved with original light gray patina. Housed in 2014 generation PCGS holder with edge view insert. CAC approval rewards the strict originality and accurate grading. Another fine offering from the Mt. View Collection of Liberty Seated quarters.
	1852/52	MS63	NGC 698531017	Briggs 1-A	Choice	New Price $1400	Special 20% Price Reduction - Choice Original, Cold Quarters Collection. The 1852 Seated quarter date remains an enigma for me. This date is scarcer in circulated grades rather than mint state and is infrquently seen given its mintage of 177,060. This date appear to have been caught up with the silver bullion arbitrage situation that occurred during 1851 through early 1853 timeframe until silver weight was lowered. A small supply of mint tate examples managed to survive, mostly in the MS63 and MS64 grades. This offered example is probably one of those. Overall strike is well executed with just a stars 6 and 7 lacking connected centrils. Surfaces are frosty and covered with a light pewter-silver patina along with some faint gold. Blemish wise, the obverse has a few micro lines in the upper left obverse field and to a lessor extant, in the lower left and right fields. The reverse is better preserved with no blemishes. In hand eye appeal is pleasing. Housed in newer NGC holder with edge view insert. An important numismatic offering from the Cold Quarters Collection. As a reference, GFRC sold a PCGS AU58 example for $1700 during April 2017.
	1852-O	AU58	NGC 1886730006	Briggs 1-A	Original	$12000	New February 20! Rare New Orleans Date, Reflective White Luster, Faint Peripheral Gold, Original Surfaces, Typical Strike, Accurately Graded, Sunset Point Collection. The 1852 date is New Orleans mint rarity in the Liberty Seated quarter series. Silver arbitrage was underway due to bountiful California gold that was flooding the America market and lowering the traditional gold to silver ratio. As silver bullion value exceeded face value, silver coinage disappears from circulation. Mintages plummeted. The 1852-O quarter has a production of just 96,000 pieces and many were likely melted. The Sunset Point Collection example offers white reflective luster with almond-gold at the peripheries. Strike is typical for the date with weakness at the upper obverse and lower reverse claws and arrow feathers. Obverse fields has wispy hairlines though mint frost is readily available on both sides. Housed in old NGC holder with standard ring insert.

Another important offering from the Mt. View Collection.
	1852-O	VG10	PCGS 32200047	Briggs 1_A	Original	$625	Reflective Gold Toned Surfaces, Challenging New Orleans Date, Obverse Marks, Mountain View Collection. 1852 New Orleans examples are nearly always seen with weak obverse strikes and problematic surfaces. The small mintage of 96,000 entered circulation or was melted for being the heavier silver weight prior to silver weight reduction in 1853. Briggs indicates this is a scarce date in all grades and R4 at the VG/F grade level. This example offers golden gray surfaces and has some obverse lines at the Liberty cap and surrounding stars 9 through 11. Fairly graded and housed in 2014 generation PCGS holder. A rare date Liberty Seated quarter from the Mountain View Collection that needs to find a new home.

GFRC is pleased to offer this lovely VF20 example from the White Pine Collection for consideration. This offering is accurately graded with blemish free surfaces. Surfaces are covered with uniform gray-rose patina. Under a light source, the toning shifts to rose-blue and is attractive. Housed in 2014 generation PCGS holder with edge ring insert.

	1853 No Arrows	F12	PCGS 30192452		Original	$2150	No Arrows, Original, Mt. View Liberty Seated Quarter Collection. The 1853 No Arrows date is well recognized as one of the Liberty Seated quarter series rarities. Mintage is report at 44,200 with two delivers of about equal amounts in February 9 and 17, 1853. As the value of silver bullion content exceeded face value, many were immediately exported and melted producing a rare collectible for present day numismatists.
