I have a question about the 1853 seated liberty quarter for my dansco 7070 set. Today I picked up a seated liberty quarter 1853 with rays on reverse no motto. The page in the dansco says 1835 to 1865 no motto there are two 1853 quarters one with rays and one with no rays and both have no motto.Is there any one here that can tell me if it makes a difference one way or the other witch one should fill the hole I do like the one with rays over the no rays what is your opinion ? THANKS BRUCE.
Bruce: I agree, I'd use the w/ arrows & rays one. Really nice one year type. Actually should be 1838 to 1865, with sub types (no drapery; drapery; Arrows & Rays; arrows, no rays).
Frank, Mine has arrows and rays I will keep it and put it in, I did not know about the one year sub type though a big thanks for that info. BRUCE "THE FRANK GROUP"
I have an 1853 Arrows and rays quarter myself. I prefer it over the no rays even though i beleive the "no arrows" version is worth more in circ condition
