1853/53 Liberty Seated Quarter. No Arrows or Rays. Briggs 1-A, FS-301. Repunched Date. AU-50 (PCGS).The mintage of this scarce issue is a mere 44,200 pieces struck in the first two months of 1853. Hence few were saved and most slipped into oblivion via the melting pots of the profiteers of this era. This is a generally silver-gray example with subtle olive tinting to the reverse. The boldly repunched date is clear with a loupe on the digits 53. A memorable offering for specialists in the challenging Liberty Seated quarter series.PCGS# 5421. NGC ID: 23TA.From the Collection of James Allaire Millholland, 1842-1911.
