1873-CC 25C Arrows AU55 PCGS. The Mint Act of February
<B>1873-CC 25C Arrows AU55 PCGS.</B></I> The Mint Act of February 12, 1873 lowered the weight of the quarter from 6.22 grams to 6.25 grams. To denote this change, arrows were added to the obverse at both sides of the date, a practice that continued through the following year. The Carson City Mint produced only one issue of the Arrows, Motto type, the 1873-CC. Just 12,462 coins were produced, and most spent years in circulation. PCGS and NGC have each certified only a single Mint State example, respectively from the Norweb and Eliasberg collections. An obviously important Condition Census representative, this coin is toned in variegated olive-gray shades that lighten somewhat over the obverse. The wear is light and confined to the highest points of the design, and the only mentionable abrasions are located on the obverse over and around Liberty's portrait. A series of small toning spots are scattered over the obverse; a reverse lamination (as struck) through the word DOL is the most useful pedigree marker. Population: 2 in 55, 1 finer (10/06).<BR><I>From The Jones Beach Collection.</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coin/Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
