    I came across this beautiful 1874 Liberty Seated Qtr with Arrows at date to signify the increased weight (6.25 grams) and it was not labeled as being a proof but I am certain it is. I am amazed by the condition of this coin with wonderful detail, and it definitely has strong cameo contrast. I am wondering what it would grade if sent in, and what its value would be. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.

    It does look like a proof, but a cleaned Business Strike coin can take on a similar mirror-like shine. The strike is sharp, especially the reverse, but it could just be an early die state. I would be hesitant to say from photos alone, it's one of those things you might want to have a LCS inspect. Nice coin in any case!

    I think it's a proof... but let a TPG have the last word.
