Collectible coins are items sought after by numismatists, often valued for their age, rarity, historical significance, or unique features. In the United States, the quarter is a common denomination, also known as the twenty-five cents coin. The California Fractional Gold coins, minted in the 1850s during the Gold Rush, are small denomination coins that were used to facilitate commerce in a time of gold scarcity. The 1853 quarter features a design by Christian Gobrecht and is notable for its representation of liberty and freedom, marking an important era in American coinage history.
