Lot Title: 1853/1853 Arrows & Rays. PCGS MS-64 CAC.
Description: A rock'em sock'em knock'em out type coin, there is certainly a lot going for this 1853 "arrows and rays" quarters, quite aside from even the PCGS MS-64 grade and CAC sticker. Prominently clashed dies have produced a mystical aura around the figure of Liberty, providing a suitably noble setting for her stately figure, and die variety specialists will enjoy examining the nicely repunched date. Each digit is shadowed by an extra outline to the south, as are the two arrows. Blanketing lustrous surfaces on each side is a fine layer of platinum-tan patina that doles out the eye-appeal in generous helpings, well complemented by gorgeous, satiny texture in the fields. While a few scattered ticks deprive gem consideration, the price of the next grade up doubles anyway, making this an even more attractive acquisition at MS-64.
Low Estimate: $4,500.00

1853 Arrows & Rays AU detail/as described.
Clem Stevens Collection. Some luster emanates from the obverse, though the reverse shows surface micro-porosity under close examination. There may be a widely misplaced digit in the denticles far...

1853 Arrows & Rays. PCGS XF-40 CAC.

1853 Arrows & Rays. PCGS AU-55.

472The Collectors' Auction 2007 on 10/19/2007$750.00
1853 Arrows & Rays. MS-60.
The strike is good, and the luster is string. A scattering of light marks account for the assigned grade. As a one year type, this is always on many want lists.

1853 Arrows & Rays. NGC MS-62.
An aesthetically appealing one year type issue. The frosty surface aspect is graced with a lavender blush on both sides. A trivial number of marks, plus one meandering die break from the right arrow...
