This is an 1853 Seated Liberty Quarter Dollar, featuring the 'Arrows & Rays' design. The obverse depicts Liberty seated on a rock, surrounded by thirteen stars, with the date 1853 below. Arrows are present on either side of the date. The reverse shows a heraldic eagle with a shield, clutching an olive branch and arrows, with rays filling the field behind it. This specific design with both arrows at the date and rays on the reverse was only produced for the year 1853, making it a desirable one-year type coin. The coin exhibits significant, even wear consistent with its 'Good' grade, with major design elements visible but heavily worn. Details on Liberty's gown, shield, and the eagle's feathers are worn smooth, and numerous small scratches and contact marks are present on both the obverse and reverse. Notably, the coin has a dark, somewhat uneven patina, which is often preferred by collectors. This coin is made of 90% silver, giving it intrinsic bullion value in addition to its numismatic value.
