<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lordmarcovan, post: 26717895, member: 10461&quot;]Good morning. It is Tuesday, February 24th.</p><p><br /></p><p>Today our type will be the <b>Liberty Seated Quarter Arrows (1853-55)</b>.</p><p><br /></p><p>This of course comprises two distinct subtypes: the <b>1853 Arrows &amp; Rays</b> quarter and the <b>1854-55 Arrows, No Rays</b> quarters.</p><p><br /></p><p>While I presently lack these types and subtypes in my primary slabbed collection, I do have them in my holed type set. But I have no pictures of my &quot;holey&quot; examples. (Not that you probably wanted to see them anyway.) I also have an 1855 quarter in my metal detecting finds album, but no picture of that, either. (It&#039;s the only Seated quarter I ever dug. Low grade, but was an exciting find.)</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, in order to contribute to today&#039;s types/subtypes, I will fetch some from the &quot;used to be mine&quot; folder.</p><p><br /></p><p>First, here are two different Arrows &amp; Rays examples, both PCGS VF35. I really liked the second one for its crusty, CircCam look. Might be too dark for some people&#039;s taste, but not mine! I like dark toned coins IF the contrast is there. I say no thanks to <i>monochrome</i> dark coins, but if it has CircCam contrast? Yes please! That second coin below was a real &quot;black beauty&quot;, if you ask me.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6027503/uploads/editor/vk/b5a0373sy7xc.png" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6027503/uploads/editor/na/znxhl746ol1a.png" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Then, here&#039;s an 1854 (Arrows, No Rays) that was PCGS XF45.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6027503/uploads/editor/g4/xzeykh6uysg8.png" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
