Liberty Seated Quarter

The Liberty Seated Quarter is a U.S. quarter dollar coin that was minted from 1838 to 1891. It was designed by Christian Gobrecht, the third Chief Engraver of the United States Mint. The obverse features an image of Lady Liberty seated on a rock, while the reverse shows an eagle until 1866, when the national motto "IN GOD WE TRUST" was added on a banner above the eagle.

The Liberty Seated Quarter is composed of 90% silver and 10% copper. It has a diameter of 24.3 millimeters and weighs approximately 6.22 grams. This makes it slightly heavier than modern quarters due to its silver content.

The value of a Liberty Seated Quarter can vary widely depending on its condition, year, and mint mark. Because they are made of 90% silver, even heavily worn examples have a base value tied to the current silver price. However, specimens in better condition or from a desirable year or mint can be worth significantly more. Some rare and high-grade examples can be worth thousands of dollars. As with any coin, a precise valuation should be obtained from a professional coin grading service.
