1854 Arrows Seated Quarter PCGS MS65+

Sirhc

Gem Two Year Type Rep

In 1853, the weight of the quarter dollar was reduced from 6.68 gm to 6.22 gm, and the reduction was noted on the coins by the addition of arrows on each side of the date and a burst of rays in the reverse fields around the eagle. The rays were removed for 1854 coinage, but the arrows remained at the date until 1856. The With Arrows, No Rays type was coined at Philadelphia and New Orleans in 1854 and 1855, and at San Francisco in 1855. The 1854 Philadelphia issue is the most plentiful of these, coming from a mintage of more than 12.3 million coins. Nonetheless, Gem examples are scarce, and finer pieces are rarely offered. We expect to receive multiple orders for this coin, based on our asking price. So don’t say we didn’t warn you to hurry up and buy it!  Listed at $13,500 in the PCGS price guide.

1854 Small Date $20 NGC AU-58 Mint Error Obverse Strike Through

Sirhc

Twenty Dollar gold pieces have long been popular with collectors with Type 1 pieces such as the one being presented today the most sought after. On top of this coin being in impressive AU-58 condition, it is a mint error. Of all metal types, gold coins are the hardest to locate with errors. The one day has a strike through meaning the coin was minted with a foreign substance interfering with the minting process.

1854 Kellogg & Co. $20 NGC AU58

Sirhc

The California economy suffered from an acute shortage of coinage after the United States Assay Office closed in late 1853, until the San Francisco Mint began coinage operations on a large scale in 1854. Even after the Mint was officially established, shortages sometimes limited production, putting extreme pressure on the small supply of coinage available to meet the needs of the burgeoning economy. To fill the gap, John G. Kellogg partnered first with G. F. Richter in late 1853 and 1854, then with Augustus Humbert in late 1854 and 1855 to produce twenty dollar gold pieces, filling the gap of production between the closure of the U.S. Assay Office and the start-up of the new San Francisco Mint. NGC has graded only 131 pieces for all grades combined. Listed at $24,200 in the CDN CPG and $21,200 in the NGC price guide.
