This is an 1853 Seated Liberty Quarter with the distinctive Arrows at the date and Rays on the reverse, a design used for only one year. The coin exhibits significant wear and has been holed near the top, resulting in post-mint damage. Additionally, a prominent reddish-brown scratch is visible across Liberty's lap on the obverse, and the surfaces show dark toning and accumulated grime, particularly on the reverse. Despite its condition, this piece remains a noteworthy example of Christian Gobrecht's work for the United States Mint. A unique addition to any collection, especially for those interested in one-year type coins. Inventory #96
