~~ BURNT OUT(seated) ON BIRTHDAY~~

[artzstuff1]

My brother dug this burnt "o" mint seated quarter,cant get a date on the front of the coin but you can see a o mint mark ,, that would be nice if it is a huge o 1854, but hard to tell, a few other goodies,real cool old printing plate, a few wheatbacks, at least he dug a seated on his birthday!!!

Thanks for looking,,,Ican see that it is a with "arrows" coin but cant tell if it had "rays",,,oh well its a mystery coin for sure!!!

Looks to me like what was left from a pocket watch. Found many similar.

Congrats on that Seated Q. Still on my wish list, and don't care what shape it's in. Happy B-Day Mr. Bro.

The big ring thing may be a drapery ring, used to hold heavy drapery on a wooden rod over a big window, JMO ...NGE

looks like that was one hot coin once upon a time.

Looks like a normal sized "o" from the photo in the 2011 Red Book. Still a nice find...those heat bubbles still cover silver--Happy Birthday to you and your brother!

The arrows were present only on 1853-1855 Seated Liberty quarters. This example definitely has arrows and does not have rays. There were many rays in the 1853 design, and none are present on this coin even though many other details are discernible. Being that the "O" is a regular size, it could be either an 1854 or an 1855. Could you post another pic with the area that has the date angled towards a light source? The last number is the mystery here. Maybe just enough of it is visible to positively ID it. Great find!
