- 1874-S Liberty Seated Quarter. Arrows. Briggs 2-A. MS-65 (PCGS). OGH. Intensely lustrous with a softly frosted finish, the dies also imparted razor sharp striking detail throughout the design. Attractively toned, as well, we note iridescent champagne-apricot, pale pink and blue-gray peripheral colors that are more varied and extensive on the reverse. 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. PCGS# 5495. NGC ID: 23VY. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
