This is an 1854 Seated Bust quarter with Arrows. The arrows were added to most of the coin denominations to signify a reduction in silver content. I wonder about the extent to which that information made it out to the general public. If it did, you can imagine they saved out the previous coins with the higher silver content.</p><p><br /></p><p>This series is described in great detail on the <a href="https://www.ngccoin.com/coin-explorer/seated-liberty-quarters-1838-1891-pscid-35-desig-ms" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ngccoin.com/coin-explorer/seated-liberty-quarters-1838-1891-pscid-35-desig-ms" rel="nofollow">NGC web site</a>. This is an excerpt:</p><p><br /></p><blockquote><p><span style="color: #0059b3">In Mint State, almost all the dates prior to 1853 are extremely difficult to find. There are two reasons for this: First, the weak strikes of this era made many coins look more worn than they actually were; and second, the melting that took place around 1853 due to the increasing value of silver forever destroyed vast quantities of coins. </span></p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1164440[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1164453[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1164451[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>This brings the Quarters section nearly to completion. The 1854 is at the top, second slot from the left. That means there are only two more quarters to go - a Capped Bust and the Liberty Seated with Motto.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1163676[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
