- 1874-S Liberty Seated Quarter. Arrows. Briggs 1-A. MS-63 (PCGS). The highly lustrous satin to softly frosted surfaces are brilliant apart from the lightest champagne-pink iridescence. The strike is sharp to full and the eye appeal is exceptional. In 1873 the weight of dimes, quarters and half dollars were adjusted upward by a tiny fraction, from 6.22 to 6.25 grams in the case of the quarter dollar denomination, a tiny amount that made very little difference to the "average Joe" in America. Today's numismatists appreciate the associated design change of 1873 to 1874, however, and the Arrows coinage of those dates is eagerly sought by type collectors and Liberty Seated quarter specialists. Thanks to the discovery of a hoard of 80 to 100 pieces in a West Coast bank in 1949 (per Larry Briggs, 1991), the 1874-S is the most available quarter of the Arrows, Motto design type in Mint State. Provenance: From the A.J. Vanderbilt Collection. Earlier from our (Stack's) sale of the Bernard L. Copeland Collection, April 1967, lot 776. Lot tag included. PCGS# 5495. NGC ID: 23VY.
