~~ 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!!!

Hey thanks for the reply ,sentinel,, ya I would say that it got raked into a burnpile!!!,,,but it counts,, its a shame because it looks like the coin might have been a fine or very fine grade of coin.

Well Happy Birthday to your brother!!

Thanks ,,,,,,maybe someone can tell if it is the huge 0 or normal o,,,?,, that might narrow down the date,, or 1891-0.

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!

Thanks for the reply ,, I just cleaned it a little more and its just to far gone,,, ,,,thanks for all the info ,,, its just a shame ,,it would have been a great coin!!!
