1873 Liberty Seated Quarter. No Arrows. Proof-66+ (PCGS). CAC.

This richly original Gem is dressed in deep russet, olive-gray and steel-blue, the boldest color encircling much of the reverse periphery. Smooth and inviting overall with a razor sharp strike from the dies. Only 600 Proof 1873 No Arrows quarters were produced according to government records; the distribution may have been smaller, perhaps something in the neighborhood of 300 pieces judging from the combined population statistics of the two leading certification services. The median grade for the issue is in the range between Proof-63 and 64; Gems are rare, and all but unobtainable above the Proof-65 level, as here.

PCGS# 5572. NGC ID: 23X6.

PCGS Population: 4; 3 finer in this category (all Proof-67).
