[QUOTE="Burton Strauss III, post: 2253851, member: 59677"]Sure... The Seated Liberty arrows come about at times (e.g. 1853) when the silver content of the coin was adjusted (up or down) to make it easy to identify. If this doesn't happen at the end of the coinage year, you get both types in the same year. Sometimes very rare because the change happened early or late in the year. Plus remember that all dies were made in Philadelphia, so coinage there might start, but it could take months for the new dies to make it out west (train to St. Louis and then horse relays).[/QUOTE]
