About this product
Product Information
<h2>Ron Guth</h2><p><font size="2" face="Verdana">Why were arrowheads and rays added to the 1853 Quarter Dollar? To signify a reduction in the weight of the coin. This was a time when silver coins were required to contain their full value in metal. Also, this was the first time that the silver content of the Quarter Dollar had been reduced since its inception in 1796! The result of the reduction in weight was that all of the silver quarter dollars struck prior to the weight change became worth more than their face value. Any quarter dollars <em>without</em> Arrows and Rays would be instantly noticeable in circulation and could be pulled and melted. The massive mintage of 1853 quarter dollars resulted from the conversion of older silver coins. For coin collectors, this means that mintage figures for all pre-1853 quarter dollars are meaningless and their respective survival rates are low.<br /></font></p>

- a***n (166)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseItems shipped quickly and with good packaging. I wish the description had mentioned that some of the coins were culls…as in bent. But as culls already, that wasn’t anything a hammer couldn’t fix. Good price too, so not really anything to complain about. Good communication too. Overall good seller.Reply from: schoenblum- Feedback replied to by seller schoenblum.- Feedback replied to by seller schoenblum.I stand behind my items. Always take returns if you're not happy. Pic had "9 Culls" written on Washington quarters bag but not in description due to limited characters by ebay.Lot of $4.25 Face 90% Silver Mixed Washington Mercury Kennedy Roosevelt (#276959384320)
- m***r (792)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThese 25 silver sixpence coins lot are perfect for my collection of exquisite coins. They are as described and beyond. They are in outstanding condition and a great value for the quantity. I also purchased a different coin lot.

Will buy from again. 5 stars plus.
